My name is André and I'm a Portuguese pastel artist based in the Netherlands.

​

Throughout my art career I developed the interest for the realist aesthetic and I'm currently developing a series of hyper-realistic drawings in large formats.

I'm currently teaching several workshops all over the Netherlands from impressionistic pastel painting with pastel sticks to hyper-realistic drawings with pastel pencils. In my classes and workshops I'm committed to guide upcoming artists and art enthusiasts to discover their own passion for the pastel medium and provide them with the tools to express their own vision and unravel the purpose or the Art endeavor.
