Valentim Sousa

DESIGNER AND PLASTIC ARTIST

I am a self-taught portuguese designer and plastic artist of 82 years old , with a lifetime of activity in the field of drawing, painting and sculpture 

I started my professional life as designer assistent of the awarded Architect Daciano Costa ( the father of the portuguese designers.)

Since than I have developed a taste for sophisticated design.

Than I went to study technical engineering.

After that, I traveled to Brasil, where I stayed for several years, and where I was able to improve my painting and sculpting skits.

Later on, I open one factory of decorative artistic ceramics.

Than I sold it to open a second one of luxury leather (handbags and duets).

Always looking to apply my aesthetic knowledge, I open a third artistic floor and wall tapestry factory.

Since I was in Brasil, I also took the opportunity to take a course of Economics.

Back to Portugal, I created a series of paintings as well as a series of sculptures in bronze.

Coincidentally, an art foreign dealer who visited this exhibition, made a proposal for the total number of pieces on display, and I accepted.

So all my works went to the United Kingdom.
