Synopsis The history of these paintings began in Pontevedra, Spain, in a place where I usually do yoga retreats every year. A farm at the top of the mountain where we arrive through narrow village streets and dirt paths, which lead to a breathtaking view over the bay with the wind cutting the cliff in the background, a sound that accompanies us along the paths that descend to the bottom, to a small beach, almost private of the turquoise blue sea, but none of this would be special if, when looking to the left side of the small mountain in the beach,, there were there waiting for us a series of guardians designed by nature in the stone with incredible faces. Some people cannot see them, but most people see them clearly. Every time I go there and developed a fascination with that place which is guarded by stones in the shape of the old Indians faces everywhere and which I noticed more and more. There we also found stone circles and the last time I sat down in the middle of one of these circles drawing in my sketchbook and, those studies that would become the series for this year, 2023, began to take shape, talking about limits to ourselves and others, within a space of shelter that is always a retreat, but above all surrounded by those marks of Acupuncture from the earth left by our ancestors in a wisdom that would come to pass through all of us. I won't go on any longer, just here's a universal introduction to all the paintings in this series this year.

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.
