Born in a village 30km north of Porto (Portugal) whose name translates as ” Looking at the sea”, I had a childhood based on the experience of outer space. The beach, the sea, the coastline are, therefore, important elements in my intimate. They form a spatial reference, a refuge to which I always return, where I perceive and reflect on the reality of my ordinary life.

I joined the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto in 2016. Studying architecture instilled in me a new way of looking at the world around me.

In 2021, I lived 6 months in Berlin (Germany) where I studied. This was the city that established for me the model of the city I want to live in. It is vibrant and active and diverse. With many inhabitants, all very different, but in a striking harmony. It was at this time that I developed photography as a tool for representation and expression.

At this time, it was easy for me to look at photography differently. I had already established foundations. The interest had already been instilled in me by my brother a couple of years earlier. He was the one who even gave me my first camera. In Berlin, I found my motive.

The curiosity for social organisation structures, whether formal or informal, is constantly a source of motivation. I am an architect, a photographer and a writer. At the intersection of the three roles I add artist, which gives me the freedom to escape the rules of etiquette and do more.

Had master’s graduation in July 2022 with the work: “Ideology and Social space: the phalanstery’s utopia and the development of the contemporary city”. It was due to this investigation work that I started to write more often about different subjects. 

Started my journey as an architect in 2022 at Atelier Edmundo, Vila do Conde, Portugal, where for the last couple of years developed broad and fulfilling work. 

Proud member of Coletivo 6 2 4. A collective of young architects set to rethink urban dynamics and push forward new solutions. It strives in the art of performance and social activism. 

Currently on an indefinite adventure through Australia to broaden his understanding of the world.
