I was born in Lisbon. I first came into contact with metals when I was very young, in the António Arroio secondary school in 1984. The school specializes in applied arts, and it changed my life. Later, between 1987 and 1991, I studied jewelry in Ar.Co, an independent art school in Lisbon, and found my personal way of expression. I founded the ZDB gallery, the first alternative gallery in Lisbon, in 1995. I worked for 10 years for a company making jewelry collections for museum shops. In 2004, I received a subsidy from the fine arts department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for my project with puppets entitled “Passage to the Other Side”. Between 2007 and 2012, I owned and managed Gallery ARTICULA, making and selling jewelry and objects. Now I have a new atelier in a truly central location in Lisbon, Largo de Camões. Now I’m teaching jewelry techniques in the school that I graduated from.
Statement
My work is usually inspired by my surroundings. Society, social values, politics, economics, wars and environmental concerns have a direct influence on the ironic form with which I approach these themes and develop them in my pieces. I consider my work to be intervention, normally a very strong political and social comment.I do not always use the same method of work, I often create pieces influenced by certain objects that I encounter, but in other works I may diverge from an idea or concept to arrive at the form of a piece.
I do not like feeling trapped in rigid ways of working because that interferes with my inspiration.
A jewel to me is something that is spiritually valuable. The material value of the jewel has little meaning.
Generally when I'm creating a form I don’t worry about the target audience, I simply have an intrinsic need to express this idea.
Jewellery for me represents a form of expression like any other, but with the difference that we carry it with us. That makes interaction with other people more visible – in fact, it can sometimes demand a great deal of courage to wear some pieces.
