The prominence of the skull in the painting serves as a powerful reminder of human mortality. The skull's enigmatic grin suggests the duality of life and death—the fine line that separates the two.

The monochromatic blue palette that engulfs the composition holds multiple layers of meaning. Blue is a color often associated with introspection, tranquility, and melancholy. It imbues the painting with a sense of profound stillness and contemplative solitude, inviting the viewer to delve into their own thoughts and emotions.

The reflection of the skull in what appears to be on water adds an intriguing dimension to the artwork. The act of reflecting the skull may represent the concept of life's transience—how the memory of the departed echoes through time, leaving a mark in the minds of those who remain.

Né à Nazaré, il est autodidacte en dessin et en peinture. Il a commencé la pratique du dessin réaliste dès son plus jeune âge et s'est consacré à la peinture à l'huile en 2017.

La démarche artistique consiste à rechercher un réalisme qui permette la perception de l'œuvre sans recourir à aucune sorte de détails exagérés ou d'hyperréalisme, en laissant toujours visible " l'effet peinture ". Il est diplômé en musique - piano, par l'université d'Aveiro.
