WORK

"Ursa Séries" is an ongoing exploration of the Portuguese landscape through plein air and studio painting. The project began with small études of the Ursa rocks—a place of personal significance for me, where the raw beauty of nature reveals itself through dramatic forms, vivid color, and emotional resonance. These initial studies marked a return to close observation and a deepening connection with the land.Over time, the series has grown into a broader body of work that captures ephemeral moments—the sparkle of sunlight on water, the warmth of late afternoon light, the stillness held in a horizon. Working both outdoors and in the studio, I focus on translating sensory experiences into visual language, using color, atmosphere, and gesture to evoke the feeling of being present in a place.
