Synopsis In November 2021 I was invited to be the resident artist at the Luxury and design weekend at Martinhal Sagres. I would like to tell you a little bit about that weekend that I still remember today when, having breakfast, I see the rain hitting me from the windows, my thoughts go to my sunny breakfasts on the balcony facing the beach, in the company of of recently known friends who came to change my life. This invitation was a Hell Yess for me... and the works that were made there with so much dedication contain in themselves a vibration of almost childlike happiness. The name, Building nest comes from Build a nest. The Algarve has been a second home for many years, a place of relief, peace and quiet and, by chance right next door, facing the cliff every morning. These works began in my notebooks precisely in the Algarve, where I go to paint more intimately in a different light. Then they went to the canvas in scale and without fear. It thus became not just a work but a living testimony of the warmth of a feeling. What is a Hangup? It's a work of textile art, basically it's a canvas but it's not crated on the back with wood. It's made to feel not just like a painting, but goes beyond that. It is a blanket work. Not to cover ourselves obviously, but it contains in itself the delicacy of the art of the hands that we learn from girls with mothers and grandmothers and following traditions. The artist deconstructs, frees himself from rules and explodes the heart in all directions without taboos. Use everything without fear. it is to be hung with space between the work and the wall to be able to have the breeze of those passing by behind it. It is a living work. Talker, conversationalist. They are slow works that cannot and do not want speed, although they may even be born quickly, others are of longer gestation. From the moment I prepare the fabrics, the minimum time is months. Should they be framed? No, not at all…they lose their values and poetry.

My painting began in the sweetest memory of my childhood of seeing my father always in love with music. He worked with classical music all his life and had a vinyl shop were I went to help him many times, and I remember the days when he came home late and closed himself to his zen moment and flooded our beds with Chopin, Bach and Ravel. When I started painting, first figurative, my search was always on abstracts, like a first love, so It all made sense when a kind of bridge built itself in the perfect timimming, between my work and music and the power of abstraction as a unique and individual inner sound.. When I was ready and had the courage to start painting abstract, I immediately perceived the intellectual demand that my choice brought me. There was behind the chosen forms a deep sense of being. That was when Bach came and gave meaning to my work. He brought me back the memories of my father's music, and that was the leap to interpret my favorite compositions on canvas like a golden hand that was given to me by fate, as in a dialogue between me and the composer or interpreter. It has become an exchange of emotions and the beginning of a long road leading me to the light in all themes that my interior need to provide, with the knowledge that it takes only one man to change something for the better in other people's lives. Art comes to the artist as a responsibility to serve. My name*s meaning conjuncts Grace (Graça) and Peace (Paz) and I born at 4 of March 1967 in Porto, and l presently live and works in the Rural north of Portugal in Minho.
