João Catarino

João Catarino’s art is so candid… so innocent and beautiful, that it brings me a lot of peace. For the art show here in Santos he will show some pieces that he paints some days ago. The nicest thing is that it’s his real visions from life and surf. Brasil have a huge connection with Portugal. Portugal it’s so beautiful and I miss my days over there some years ago… I will feel back in Portugal with João’s paintings…
