Features & Media (2025)
This year, I was honoured to be featured in an in-depth interview with L’Arte Che Mi Piace, where I shared insights into my creative universe — from my roots in Angola and Portugal to the evolving techniques that shape my analogue collage and mixed-media practice. The article delves into the emotional depth of my work, described as art that not only decorates the gaze but also awakens it, guiding viewers through themes of beauty, memory, pain, and transcendence.

2024 Exhibitions and Features
2024 was a landmark year of international exhibitions, features, and collaborations across London, Lisbon, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Japan.
In July, I exhibited as the lead artist at the iconic FLUX Exhibition at The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Marylebone. Earlier in the year, I was featured in Edition 10 of FLUX Review Magazine, with a six-page interview curated by Lisa Gray.
I also began developing a new Interior Design and Art Collectors brand, in collaboration with Flux (curated by Lisa Gray) and Pedro Jaime Vasconcelos. This initiative connects contemporary art with interior design, creating bespoke experiences and collections for private clients and design professionals in London and Portugal.
During the summer, I exhibited at an Open House event in Notting Hill, at the Duke of Wellington Pub Art Show on Portobello Road, and participated in the EuropArtFair in Amsterdam, represented by Circle Arts.
In Portugal, I began a new representation with Marchand-Mercier Pedro Jaime Vasconcelos. Together, we prepared the next year’s exhibition schedule and collaborative projects spanning art, interior design, and film in London, in partnership with Lisa Gray of FLUX Exhibition & FLUX Review.
Pedro Jaime Vasconcelos also curated my solo exhibition “Diaz in Lisbon”, part of the Series Identity programme at the trend-setting Coletivo284 in Lisbon (6–23 November 2024). The show blended art, music, and fashion events, drawing significant press coverage.
The exhibition also debuted my Art Wear collection in collaboration with Empório Aragão, who simultaneously launched their brand at Brooklyn Fashion Week in Japan, with a fashion show in Osaka on 16 November 2024.
My work is now embarking on an exhibition tour curated by Pedro Jaime Vasconcelos, in collaboration with cultural venues across Portugal, Monaco, and New York, while continuing the partnership with Coletivo284.
