His artistic practice spans various disciplines, including video, installation, live-performance art, and scenography, having displayed his work in countries such as Portugal, Germany, Canada, Iceland, Finland and garnered support from several prestigious institutions, including the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Robert Bosch Foundation, Kone Foundation, and EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art.
