Programa Descobrir FCG

These illustrations were developed to illustrate the communication material for the educational Descobrir at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Spawning from other projects I had, these are animals and objects working together to create poetry.

Bestial / Manimals

This book was commissioned by my fellow illustrator André Leiria to be part of one of the first books of his new publishing house Pato Lógico. The premisse was to make a wordless book, but I think I stretched the concept too much and the book was eventually out of the collection. Thankfully I got an opportunity to expand the illustrations and make several exhibitions throughout Europe with its characters. Some of these images were awarded by the society of illustrators of New York.

De sal a sal

This project was a collaboration with the Pepes Studio in my hometown Aveiro. It had a particularly pleasant twist as I had to work on an imaginarium that accompanied me since I was a child, walking around my city. From my memories of Aveiro, I cherish the swirl of the wind, the colours of the sky and the river the open space and two enigmatic figures on the bridge; the varina and the marnoto. Enigmatic because they represent a life that I don't know, I can only fantasize about. I think it must have been a hard, rough and restless life. However, dark, surrounded by water, softness and infinite shades of grey-blue-green that bring me an electric peace.
