Conspiracy


Inspired by a visit to the beautiful church of "São Domingos" in Lisbon.
The church suffered a big fire in 1959 which completely destroyed the inner decoration. It was decided not to hide the marks of the fire and to my eyes it only makes the church more beautiful. I was told the orange painted ceiling is a reminiscence to the fire. Here is a photo:

Dedicated to Paula Bottas for showing me this beautiful church.

The Hunt

Nothing much to say, other than this started as a thumbnail a sketch I did last year for James Paick's online masterclass.

Everyone Wants To Be A Hero

I leave a suggestive title so you can decide if this guy makes it or if he is just a bit too ambitious...

Peaceful Kingdom

Some months ago I created a new folder with unfinished paintings/sketches and also intermediate steps of finished paintings. Basically it's a collection of a lot of crappy images I did over the last years that I think had some potential if taken further or reworked. This is one of my attempts to try and make something interesting out of something not worth looking at. Let me know your thoughts.

Warriors2

A fleshed out version of the previous sketch...

Warriors

Rougher work, which sometimes has the appeal of not showing everything to the viewer making it more engaging. My focus was on composition, color and pose.
Overworking a painting can lead to uninteresting results so instead I decided to share this image where the "paint" is still fresh...
