I only paint with oil and i didn't had any painting lessons, mainly because i don't have time with two kids. for me it's just something i must do in life. it's an obsession. :-)
I live in Lisbon, Portugal and my roots count with Africa where i was born and lived till 9 years old. I am portuguese from my mother side also and have Goa's roots from my father. This is why i have influences from all corners of the world, even though i know almost nothing from asian or african culture! i'm almost 45 years old and i paint since i know myself...:-)well, i love all cultures when they reveal all they're wonderfull being!
