In the 1980s, he refined the art of live portrait drawing in Montmartre, Paris, near the Sacré-Cœur, developing a keen and expressive eye.
He then traveled across Europe—especially Belgium, France, and Italy—in search of the busiest tourist areas, where he produced live portraits during holiday seasons. Later, he settled in Brussels, where he trained in Web Design, before moving to Portugal in 2001 and working for several years in the IT field.
In 2003, he launched a website dedicated to charcoal and pastel portraits created from photographs, while continuing every summer to draw live portraits on the Costa da Caparica. At the same time, he developed a passion for oil painting, which he has pursued with dedication, never abandoning charcoal, whose strength and expressiveness continue to inspire his work.
