I was selected for an open call submission for a multi-disciplinary exhibition organized by Macau Oxwarehouse "Free Individual Travel… How Much Free? A Contemporary Art Exhibition",

KEEP FIT MANUAL is my illustration work based on my experience on what I see, what I feel and what I hear when I bump into the “FIT” people.

I displayed my own experience on the canvas by showing the unpleasant and discomfort the “FITs” bring to my life in a funny and easy illustrations.

The title of the work in the middle was chosen in a humour way translating the initials of Free Individual Travellers into the verb FIT. So lets KEEP FIT! If you want to be a FIT person, just follow the illustrations!

Together with other artists

Example of one of my favourite sculpture. It has two faces in front and back.

Another interesting sculpture showing the motor driving scene of Macao.

2010 Macao Annual Art Exhibition is an important programme as part of the Macao Arts Festival. I tried so submit something every year to participate in this event.

In 2007, my artwork TYPE-FACE-RECIPE was awarded as 10 best entries of the exhibition.

Then in the next coming years 2008 and 2009, I also submit some of my artworks, but none were selected nor even for the exhibition, this proves that the judge are very tough for the quality of the works.

This year 2010, I tried once more by submitting 4 canvas of my previous solo exhibition UNKNOW - A Miracle Vision, and finally I was selected for the exhibition and be part of this important yearly arts events.

I was invited to join a group exhibition 100% Designed in Macau – Product Design 2 at Albergue Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Macau from 29th July till 23rd August. Since this was an unexpected invitation and because I don't have much works in the field of product design, I have to rush to do something at least not in 2D for the exhibition.

For that purpose and for time consuming, I used the characters design that I displayed from my last solo exhibition and force some of my characters to make a migration from paper/canvas to CD package and to t-shirts.

The above images are more or less about my space, my corner and my display at the exhibition.

2007 Macao Annual Art Exhibition

Type-Face-Recipe

A series of poster that was included in the list of 10 best entries for 2007 Macao Annual Art Exhibition.

I am confidence that I could win or be selected for the group exhibition, but didn't expect to be 10 best entries of the exhibition.

These series show the everyday use of typeface can have a lot of possibilities to transform into different kind of icons with full of expressions.

Thank You poster in 2003/04

Thank you! From Ou Mun.

One of the top 10 entries poster design competition organised by Cultural Affairs Bureau welcoming the visit of international well-known Japanese graphic designer Mr. Shigeo Fukuda to Macau. His style is about playing with optical illusion, with that in mind, I also did a try on this style by making a Thank You poster to his visit. Two silhouettes of Ruins of St. Paul’s pointing each other and made the initial of “M” which means Macau.

Day of Portugal, Camões and Portuguese Language Community 2007

Poster design, June 2007

As I am a Portuguese born and living in Macau, I cannot find an excuse not to apply for this poster design competition held two years ago in 2007 by Instituto Português do Oriente.

For this purpose, I designed a poster for myself and for the Portuguese community to join together. What I wanted to do is that I design the basic image of the poster and the rest let the Portuguese community to fill in phrases about being Portuguese, what they think on the day, how great was the people of discoveries, etc. Everything about and related to Portugal.

The end result of the poster cannot predict, because everyone that I asked for help have different thoughts about what to write and what to say.

Finally the outcome of the poster is in this post and if you are interested to see the winning poster, you can visit the site of IPOR.

2nd International Poster Competition "AntiAIDS - Ukraine" in 2007

A series of posters designed for

"2nd International Poster Competition "AntiAIDS - Ukraine"
in 2007.

My design didn't get any awards, but gave me a chance to be exhibited in Ukraine because it was selected as 214 out of other 650 posters. I am satisfied already to be included in the list and be the only one from Macau too.

As living in Macau, Chinese and Western cultures didn't clash to each other, but on the other hand, they are harmonised to each other and I grew up in this duo-cultural environment.

The posters has a mix of Chinese and Western knowledge and influence.

To begin, the posters have two icons representing male and female. The head is represented by Yin/Yan symbol, the bottom as the traditional icon of male and female (cross and arrow).

Then the title is "What's the response?" In Chinese, normally replies as Yin or Yan, but for Westerners could be Yes or No or even Positive or Negative, that's why I added the symbols of plus and minus, doing that, the posters can hang side by side or alone.

To see my posters you can visit here or if you are interested to see this year's winner of the same competition please visit the official site.
