Expo Surrealismo Português

These drawings were made in the Exposition of Portuguese Surrealism that took place in Coordoaria last month. I particulary liked this Cezariny sculpture, it looked like a fish, in a boat, mixed with a mens' face...

Manta Rota

This was made in the beach of Manta Rota, in Praia da Lota, witch is a very good one to go for a walk in the Winter or Spring. It's a really quiet and simple place...

Praia Verde

This is just a quick scketh of one of my favorite places in the Algarve, Praia Verde, between Altura and Monte Gordo. This one was made in the last day of March and unfortunally was very cold...

Setúbal

This is a quick drawing of the beach "Ferreirinha" near the city of Setúbal. I was seating in a simple beach bar where the tables and chairs are on the sand, just perfect for a spring afternoon looking at the montains protecting the beach...

My mother and the beach house

This is my mother sleeping on the sofa although she looks more like Lili Caneças than with herself :)) And after, a view of a living room in the Algarve.

Alvito...

In Monsanto, we remember the old plain where kids went in and out and everything was very old... Now, there's a big new park with lots of different things to do! I liked these indian tents, they were different than the usual...

Expo - zona norte

Probably the best thing Expo 98 left us were the gardens of the north side of it, the "Parque do Tejo". Its a great place to walk, do sports, walk the dog, take the kids, or simply to draw and enjoy the peace of the river...

Inatel de Alvalade

In the midlle of Alvalades' buildings there's a great place to do sports, walk among the green trees or take the kids to play. This last option is what I often do, taking my 2 year old to the sand park where he as lots of fun... It's a good option to run away from the city and still be in the midlle of it!

Belém...

Near the Museum of Electricity, where the boats go to the southern coast of Lisbon, is a good place to just stare and enjoy the view and the quiet moments.

My old cat...

The cats always choose the best places to lie down and enjoy the pleasure of "doing nothing". We shoul learn from them...

Belém...

Made some weeks ago after having lunch in Belém, one of the more turistic places in Lisbon but always good to return to and breath some of the lisbon perfume... Here we can see the CCB behind the main fountain of the gardens...

Room for a boy...

This one I made while thinking how to adapt this space for a bedroom for my 2 year old boy! The perspective is kind a crazy but I wanted to remember the colors... This is a house near the beach, in Charneca da Caparica, witch we decorated with happy colors!
