I'm a visual artist, researcher and teacher.
My artistic practice moves between drawing and urban art, photography and performance, as well as installation and artist's books. I collaborate with artists and researchers from various fields, seeking to create synergies and explore transdisciplinarity through these encounters. I am also committed to engaging communities in creative processes and to a sustainable relationship with the environment and society.
I have exhibited and presented performances regularly since 1996, in Portugal and abroad. I am represented in private and institutional collections at national and international level, have carried out artistic residencies, and have received various grants and awards, including the Art-Science/Technology residency ‘BIOASSEMBLER - Integrating bio-inspired assembly into semiconductor manufacturing technology for biosensors’ (Finland), the artistic residency at Novo Ciclo ACERT (Tondela), the Internationalisation Support Program from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Canada), the KTH Royal Institute of Technology travel grant (Stockholm), winner of the Serralves em Festa Artistic Projects Competition (Porto), the INOV-ART/DGArtes grant (Barcelona),  Internationalisation Support Program from the Camões Institute (Argentina), the Eurodissée grant (Paris), the PAAD grant - Atlantic Digital Art Project (Canary Islands), the artistic creation grant from DRAC - Regional Directorate for Culture (Azores) and an honour as Createur d’aujourd’hui by the Federation Nationale de la Culture Française.
 
I hold a PhD in Contemporary Art. I was an integrated researcher at esad-idea, where I organised the "Exploratório Walks/Caminhadas Exploratório" programme; and I was a research fellow at the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra (CES-UC), in the project ‘ALL Artist-Led Learning in Higher Education’, funded by Erasmus+. Furthermore, I was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Aveiro, a guest assistant at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (ESEV-IPV), and at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (ESEC-IPC).
I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and French.
I love nature walks, surfing and swimming in the ocean.
