About this artwork
The background is a classic Portuguese kitchen tile pattern, because I wanted it to feel like dinner had been served somewhere sunny… and slightly surreal. The sardine floats a little too proudly, the fork glows like it’s about to deliver something divine — and yet, somehow, I’m still hungry.
This painting is a bit of a joke, a bit of a memory, and a lot of paint. Mostly, it’s a playful tribute to everyday rituals and the joy of making something simple feel a little absurd.

I’ve lived in Italy, Spain, Argentina, Canada, and the Netherlands, and my work reflects that mix of places, feelings, and light. Portugal, especially, left its mark — its tiles, sea tones, and everyday beauty still show up on my canvas.
I work mostly in acrylics, blending figurative realism with surreal and symbolic elements. Sardines, shrimp, golden forks, and tile patterns often appear — ordinary things made slightly strange.
My paintings explore identity, nostalgia, and emotion — but always with color, playfulness, and a sense of vivid, unapologetic aliveness.
