In 1989 with some Art colleagues and with the support from Professor and Sculptor António Júlio develops the NAP- Núcleo de Artes Plásticas do Laranjeiro which was a 'creative tank' for all the people involved in terms of plastic expression, resulting on some truly interesting exhibitions as well the main ignition of what it is today his work.

Developing his artistic activity in his own way, showing his unique stream of feelings and image, always try to communicate through his artwork creating an holistic approach towards public, either in painting, drawings, installations or digital art.

It's almost automatic his way of doing Art; has not a previous study nor plan. Taking as an example the series of works made on steel, the whole set is a master combination of handling the material, torching resistance and impact, that can shine or even cut. Raw material is commanding the artist. Rarely starts an isolated piece of Art, he'd rather works on series which he's going developing through a chain of 'artistic family' with strong bonds among them.
