Post-Apocalyptic Painting And Bordeline Disorder Influence

When I was still a student at the Fine Art Academy of Lisbon, I have a big desire to understand why I had a strong need to make paintings combining elements that have no connection with each other. At the same time, creating these compositions helped me to balance my psychological state. Years passed, and I continued to combine bombs with saints, flowers and sea animals with objects of modern technology, my guns were like a Brazilian carnival. I continue cut and rebuild mandalas. Years later, already in the psychology department, I learned about borderline personality disorder, about the inner pain and emptiness that make life unbearably difficult for these people.

I found out that I belonged to a group of these strange people to those around me. It helped me to understand my strange inner world and learn to live in the world with numerous fears, fantasies and paranoia. At the same time, the abstract world of "incongruent" elements born in my head and living on my canvases took on a very special meaning. And I realized that I should keep painting, conveying the idea that thinking outside the box can also have a right to exist, and can be the source of a variety of images that yearn to be invited into my artwork. Many of us are afraid of becoming separated from society, afraid of becoming a "black sheep”. But, in fact, being divergent is not a bad thing at all, rather it is a new form of seeing the world, with greater contrasts and greater shades of the same color.
