In Portuguese legends, the runner is the person who has to run the fado, that is, during the whole night (usually cold and dark nights) he will walk a path where he will run through seven bridges, seven fountains, seven hills, seven crossroads, seven dog gates, once a year until this curse is broken. The runner is a mutated being, it can take the form of a Horse, a wolf, a dog or another animal whose footsteps were seen by the affected person. When you find one, to break the fate you must make blood, that is, make it bleed (the elders say that you could also get out of that state with a sickle, making them an inheritance in a specific area, saying that you only had one opportunity because they said they were fast as lightning). They say that a person becomes a Corridor, when the seventh child is born in a family whose children are all of the same sex, the firstborn has to "run the fado", being a very old legend with Celtic roots and rooted in the Lusitanian tribes, it was transmitted by orally, with the arrival of Christianity, another part was added: They say that a person becomes a Runner if, as a child, the godparents say the Creed wrong in the baptism. The painting is based on this legend showing a woman enjoying a crossroads and inside it is a representation of transformation. One of the legends told handed down from generation to generation contan how a young woman with long hair cursed by the touch of the fairy (another name given in other provinces) on a cold night while under the curse trotted to complete her path attacked a man in this case, except for a lake (according to legend, people with this misfortune were very aggressive in their animal form, attacking mowed by great anger), it is said that he was injured with a holly branch, becoming human, when he witnessed the result. of her actions she fell into a great depression so the dark tones of the work of art with her looking out the window melancholy and scared cursing her own fate. This legend has some themes similar to the legend of the Celtic kelpie and with great similarities to the legends (folklore) and Portuguese mythology.

I am an artist who uses a mixture of symbolism and abstract to give my vision through art to convey emotions using digital and traditional media to merge the best of each style to make my perspective, my art come true and also being a bit of a troubadour telling legends of my homeland, stories, tales of love and tragedy through my paintings. 


Art is the projection of our soul sometimes tormented sometimes in love anguished furious or simply at peace

I have many artists as references such as Charles Baudelaire, Odilon Redon, Victor Hugo and a long etc. I hope you like my works.I want people to vibrate with my works so that all the feelings that my works provoke can surface
