In every artwork there is an opportunity for the artist to learn from what is being born in the "canvas".
I always try to remain open to what is coming through and this has become a part of my artistic practice.
For all of our history we've been giving meaning to sounds, words and images as we've been striving to describe "reality" from our human perspective. Just like images, words are tools to expand our thought and perceive connections within our collective knowledge. The word "no" is a word that expresses more than a negation, it's a metaphisical line drawn to separate, cut and that's when one becomes two or when a blurry line becomes a sharp one.
In my drawing "iON" I reflected the text "NO!" by curiosity and this led me to the idea of an ion, an atom that can have a positive charge or a negative one. I found this message to be very inspiring as we can also be like an ion and charge ourselves with positive or negative charges.
What do you think about it?
New original pastel artwork in the making.
This one is a perfect example of how experimentation can lead to a profound thread of meanings.
More soon....

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share a very important work for me, namely the painting "Take Me Home" (pastel, 22x22cm). I created this painting to recreate the emotions of an animal that is looking for its new owner in every person passing by on the street.
The problem of stray dogs is very important in our world, and as a native Portuguese (there are a lot of strays and abandoned by owners animals in Portugal), I am very happy that I now live in the Netherlands, the first country in the world that does not have a single stray dog because of well-thought policies and practices.
Each of us can do our bit to help solve this problem and together we can make this world a better place!
P.S. This piece is an original work I made for sale, so if you would like to "take home" this painting, please email me in private messages or through my website. If you would like to commission a portrait of your pet or if you are an artist and would like to have online private lessons, please check out my website; maybe I can be of some use to you!

Pastel
The bond between a pet and their human is one built on unwavering trust, and the thought of leaving behind a loyal friend who relies on us is something I could never fathom. Our pets depend on us for love, care, and protection.
The act of walking away from a loyal companion, leaving them alone and bewildered, is an unimaginable betrayal.
These innocent creatures, who once looked to you with trust and love, are left searching for the warmth and security they once knew.
Please, let us remember that pets are not disposable, but sentient souls deserving of our care and protection. Let us stand together to ensure that they find the love and stability they so desperately need, rather than perpetuating their heartbreak through abandonment.
