the white wall - painting

(...) Orienting our attention to the formal relations between the aesthetic phenomena resulting of environmental and physical conditions, the project ‘he White Wall’ should be interpreted as a creative and experimental process, that profounds ‘lines of thinking’, founded on the problematics initially developed and functioning as a starting point for future projects.
This project pretends to explore the concept of the capacity of a wall transfiguring itself, the problematics of shadow/ light as a unit of time-measure, and a construction / desconstruction of the message as an aesthetic content.(...) + project  >

VISITORS

 As pessoas – o que são e como o são –, vão-se gradualmente alterando, quase sempre em virtude do contacto com novas pessoas e com experiências diferentes;

O Tecido social insular tem-se vindo a ajustar a uma realidade muito mais global e globalizante e os seus paradigmas têm reflectido essa, quase sempre, empolgante caminhada;

A excitação do acontecimento social, a delícia da descoberta de interesses – tanto comuns como distintos –, a ruptura com rotina quotidiana, a vontade de nos sentimos bem, faz-nos querer estar com outras pessoas e sentir prazer nessa relação;

A mescla de diferentes pontos de vista, o exotismo de outras paragens, o profissionalismo de quem sabe e o conforto da nossa casa, é a combinação perfeita para momentos memoráveis.

painting exhibition, 2007

My last work - the power of the word and the value of the time!

I was born in Ponta Delgada (1961), Azores, I studied at the center of art and visual communication “Ar.Co” in Lisbon. I participated in several collective exhibitions, had several individual exhibitions and developed projects with public intervention. I’am represented in private and public collections.

Initially like a tool for my artistic work, now I assume the photography like my principal hobby. In this way, the presented images reflect varied aesthetic preoccupations that can be divided in two vectors: Images of illustrative character : registers for my artistic work (register of works and notes); artistic photography (like autonomous discipline).

I mainly use flickr and ipernity as a backup to my work and my photoblog:observer, and my homepage filipe franco contemporary art  ; I participate also in the onexposure   project . Occasionally post photographs here that might not appear on my blogs. >  I live and work on the Island of São Miguel, Azores - Portugal.
