Clay entered my life at sixteen, at the António Arroio School of Arts, and never left. I studied Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts, specialising in stone, but it was in returning to clay, in my final year, that a pomar was born.

Each piece I make is one of a kind, shaped by hand, without a wheel and without repetition. My work is guided by the memory of gesture, the simplicity of form and an intimate relationship with the material.
