As a self-taught artist, I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature, especially from my homes in Mallorca and Cascais, Portugal. My earlier abstract works include two distinct series: abstract seascapes inspired by the Mediterranean and textured pieces that explore human relationships and connections with the divine. The seascapes reflect the colors and moods of the sea, while the textured works, in natural beige tones with touches of gold, convey themes of unity, love, and spiritual connection.
Recently, I’ve shifted my focus to creating detailed charcoal artworks of animals. These pieces go beyond realism, aiming to evoke emotions such as courage, love, and curiosity. My goal is to make viewers feel these uplifting emotions through the animals I depict.
While my journey began with abstraction, I am now exploring realism and look forward to blending these styles in future works. My art is a celebration of beauty, offering moments of peace, joy, and inspiration.
Charcoal Kingdom, a collection of my charcoal drawings where I bring the spirit of the wild to life. Through the powerful yet delicate strokes of charcoal, I capture the raw beauty and strength of lions, leopards, and tigers. Each piece is a tribute to the courage, grace, and mystery these animals hold. My aim is to let viewers feel a connection with the wild, discovering the depth and emotion these creatures convey in their gaze and presence.
In this striking charcoal piece, i aim to capture the raw power and resilience of a tiger mid-roar. The bold contrast of black and white charcoal draws attention to the fierce expression, allowing each fine detail of the tiger’s fur and intense gaze to convey strength, courage, and untamed energy.
The dynamic tension in the tiger’s face invites the viewer to connect with their own inner roar—moments of bravery, determination, and the courage to face life’s challenges head-on.
Crafted meticulously on canvas and sealed with a protective varnish, the artwork is a lasting representation of the wild spirit that resides within us all. Whether it’s standing tall in adversity or releasing pent-up emotions, this piece serves as a powerful reminder of the unstoppable force within.
