I found ,unexpectedly,between papers two drawings from 1997.the second year of my life in Portugal.Also the year I discovered rice-paper in the small exotic shop in Algarve.The Lady, owner of the shop was packing her goods in that paper.I asked her if she can sell me some,and since than, that was my "Bread and butter" in Portugal.Dionysus was one of my first rice-papers.
I have strong emotions for birds,their fragility and their strength,their powerful life in the air and tragic inseritude on land.And than,they have something,I think the most perfect creation of nature,feather.Love to pick them up from the street,although here in Lisbon there is no much.Here are two of my favorite paintings of birds.
