I just completed my studies at an art college in Sweden where I currently live. I was born in Portugal and spent my early childhood in New York City. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 4. I feel it affects the way I paint in a positive way. I like to paint the small details, such as reflections, patterns and light nuance. Landscapes and architecture interest me the most in terms of what I choose to paint but not always. I mostly work with gouache and watercolour, but I'd like to try and do more acrylic and oil paintings.
