“Dancing with wolves” (2013)
watercolor, gouache and coloring pencils on paper
30 x 30 cm

This is my contribution to an auction held in Oporto, Portugal, in behalf of the habitat preservation of the iberian wolf.

The last two illustrations in my “Familiar Demons” series are “Hunger” and “Childhood”.

All demons share the same nameless origin. What I am today derives from both all the dark and happy places of my childhood.

“Memory” is the third illustration from my “Familiar Demons” series.

“Hello darkness, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.” - The knowledge of hell, or the question - Should we come back, or not, to the old familiar places? [lyrics by Paul Simon]

“Sleep” is the second illustration from my “Familiar Demons” series.

The disturbance of sleeplessness is like the woods, where the myth of Sysiphus is staged: “The woods are lovely, dark and deep/ But I have promises to keep/ And miles to go before I sleep”. [poem by Robert Frost]

“Fear” is the first illustration from my “Familiar Demons” series.

Reminiscing “The Birds” (the book by Daphne du Maurier and the film by Alfred Hitchcock), I think to myself: “the dark is the first place of fear”. [poem by José Rui Teixeira]

I’m experimenting with some 3D illustration lately, and I’m really enjoying the results. I love the effect from the overlapping layers on the photos.

My first political illustration, finished in February for an exhibition entitled “Another possible world (?)”.

The theme and title I chose for it is “Não há machado que corte a raiz ao pensamento” (“No axe shall cut the root of thinking”). It’s a verse from a poem by portuguese author Carlos de Oliveira, and also the lyrics of a song about freedom, back when Portugal suffered through a dictatorship.
