João is a Porto-born physician specialized in Internal Medicine with a distinction in Palliative Care. His professional journey is defined by a deep commitment to the human condition.
During his formative years, João lived in Porto, Faro, Viseu, and Aveiro, an experience that allowed him to explore the Portuguese territory in its diverse forms and landscapes. This period of geographic transition profoundly influenced his visual perspective, fostering a deep interest in how space and identity overlap.
In his artistic practice, João explores the boundaries of visual storytelling through Documentary Photography. His work seeks to capture the "invisible matter" of urban environments and the silent nuances of human existence.
Whether in the clinical ward or behind the lens, João’s work is a continuous search for meaning, belonging, and the unveiling of new beginnings.
