MMXXIV Panel III

'My work draws inspiration from traditional Portuguese azulejos, the glazed tiles that line so many walls and façades of my childhood. Their geometry, repetition, and rhythm shape my approach to composition and design. I’m fascinated by how these historic motifs can coexist with contemporary figurative subjects. Inspired by my passion for fashion photography, I create a dialogue between past and present. I work in watercolour for its vibrancy and fluidity, which allows me to combine precision with spontaneity. Through colour, motifs, and layered washes, I aim to convey presence, energy, and emotion in each figure, celebrating identity and character. The Federation of British Artists has been pivotal in my artistic journey, offering both recognition and a genuine sense of community. Receiving the Cass Art Prize at the 212th Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours Exhibition in 2024 encouraged me to keep exploring colour and expression in new ways. Exhibiting again in 2025 for the 213th RI Exhibition at Mall Galleries and Beyond the Prize has deepened my connection to a supportive and inspiring network of artists. Being selected to represent non-member artists of the RI for the FBA Editions fundraiser feels extremely special, not only does it provide further recognition but also gives me the chance to contribute to the nine art societies that make up the FBA.'
