Évora, Portugal, 1983

Presented by MODULO – CENTRO DIFUSOR DE ARTE

The focus of the research that feeds his work (since 2014) focuses on a single equation
A∩B = {x│ x∈A ⋀ x∈B}
This premise invites you to gather different sets of objects, with the purpose of developing a series of drawings or paintings. As a result of the artist’s interests and affinities, generally speaking, this ecosystem works in two different moments. The first tries to respond to the problem according to its different variables. The second looks at all the creation of meaning derived from it and is concerned with understanding it, appropriating the narrative that it produces, for example, in the form of artist books.
Thus, we can characterize it as a systemic and autophagic process that appropriates the interests and culture, which are important to the artist, to develop his creation of meaning.
