He was born in São Luís do Maranhão, in a family that encouraged him to be attentive to things, and he landed in Porto 12 years ago to study graphic design. He recalls the difficulties in adapting, over and over again that he has already moved house and courage or the “strength” that never did.
He shared photos of the city with family and friends in a private, but he felt the need to put filters on the images and that’s why he installed an Instagram account, in September 2010, long to imagine that I would be the sixth person in Portugal to do so.
