Born and currently based in Lisbon, João pursued his studies at IADE - Creative University in Portugal and the NewSchool of Architecture & Design in California. Since then, he has worked as a Designer and more recently enrolled in a three-year painting course at Ar.Co - Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual to strengthen his painting skills and further his development as an Artist.

João is deeply passionate about abstract painting, drawing, and color, interests that have been part of his life since an early age. A significant aspect of his work is influenced by pareidolia—a psychological phenomenon that allows him to discover meaningful patterns in random stimuli.

His artistic journey is a continual search for balance between the abstract and the tangible, pushing the boundaries of his intuitive narrative to create pieces that blend innovation, emotion, and a strong sense of identity.
