Using the artistic name
Nark, he started in graffiti illegally, leaving his mark, especially with
letters.
Gradually, his work evolved
and was admired, with the passage to large murals and masterpieces that he executes
with a sharp technique and speed.
Currently, his graffiti works are almost all
private and public commissions, or interventions of a social nature, which he
makes willingly and whenever requested, such as social neighborhoods,
associations and schools, through which he maintains his interventional and
social side.
Currently he mainly makes faces. His taste for the arts also includes
his profession, as a conservation and restoration technician, with a post
graduate degree in interior conservation and rehabilitation, carrying out
stucco works with a vast curriculum.
Nark admires artists who
use traditional techniques and always tries to leave their work as it was
intended for future generations, these multiple interests make him disperse. He
carries out works to exhibit and sell in galleries with various supports,
almost always sprayed, but he also develops works made with plastics, sheets,
use of cans, painting in various supports, including vehicles and planes. Tattooing
is still part of his interests; he has a tattoo shop and a gallery in Mafra.
His best known works are
the one he created for the Saramago Foundation in Lisbon, also featured on the
website of the Urban Art Gallery of Lisbon, in the section Best Graffiti disappeared
in the city (2016), the work performed at Quinta do Mocho, an intervention commissioned
by Loures City Council, where he made a caricature of Angela Merkel fitting the
refugees, the work he carried out in Setubal as part of the "Heads and Tails"
Festival , the work in Algés untitled "Me" for the Oeiras CPCJ, the
work "Dream Big" In Estoril, the mural dedicated to the African
community in Cascais and more recently the immense works he has left behind in
Mafra.

Synopsis:
As paredes cobrem e isolam os espaços, a cor dos rostos nos olhos dos preconceitos fazem o mesmo, são filtros que não nos permitem ver a realidade, o interior, a beleza da diversidade humana. somos uma cultura formada por muitas culturas, com constantes assimilações que devemos valorizar.
