I was born in Luanda the capital of Angola in Africa. I started drawing when I was five year old on the sand; nobody ever showed me how to draw.
During my school time, I was drawing during the lessons and my teachers were angry with that. At 12 in my family’s house, I drew and painted on some pieces of wood and everybody who saw them was surprised and asked to have one.
In 2007, an experienced French artist, Miss Danielle Vasa, who studied at the prestigious French University of Arts “les Beaux Arts De Paris”, saw one of my canvases in Switzerland and she was impressed, but something was lacking. She thus, proposed to teach me the technical aspects of paint. One year later, she found I was qualified to exhibit and hence, asked me to exhibit with her (collective exhibition). Since then, I have exhibited my canvases around the world.
