I'm Pedro, a versatile creative professional with a Bachelor's in Sound & Image (Cinema) from Portugal. Experienced in directing, producing, sound design, and art direction, I bring concepts to life with tools like Premiere Pro, Lightroom, and Pro Tools, etc...
My journey continued with a Master's in Fashion Photography in the UK, where I honed project planning, conceptualization, and team management skills, expanding my expertise to InDesign and Photoshop.
Currently, I collaborate with Oxygn__ as a creative adviser to owner António Lemos. Together, we've orchestrated successful international creative events in London's Shoreditch and Porto, where I curated the gallery component.
As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore photography, videography, mixed media, painting, and music, delivering diverse creative solutions. My work has been exhibited at UCP (Porto, 2020), Truman Brewery (London, 2023), ART Number 23 (Barcelona, 2023), and Maria Pistolas (Porto, 2023).

- 1+1=1 - The Life Of Alcino VenturaFor this unique project, I drew inspiration from my grandfather's life and legacy to create an alternate reality. I fabricated an entirely new persona, using his name and face, while completely altering the course of his life.
