Lagos in 60 digital images that go beyond the false sense of reality that photographs have, because after all they are just representations of reality. And if all photographs are lovely lies, these 'photopaintings' are hyperbolic lies; fantastic visions that only dreamlike reverie can create. They are images of changed clothes that celebrate six decades of the relationship with this city to which I belong.

Almatriz, is a Portuguese music group, composed of five elements (Voz, Maria Infante;
Portuguese Guitar, João Correia; Classical Guitar, Beatriz Paulo; Bass/Double Bass, Nuno
Incarnation; Drums/Percussion, Junior Santos).
The name “Almatriz” is born from the mixture of the names Alma (vital principle of our life) and Matriz (place where something is generated and/or created). These are characteristics that, together with nostalgia and melancholy, mark the Portuguese sound. Its musicality is influenced by contemporary Portuguese popular music, music from the Portuguese-speaking world, classical music and Fado, presenting, however, a new perspective and sound concept.
