Monsaraz is a beautiful fortified small town in Alentejo (Portugal). In every street and corner there are beautiful details to draw. Recently the building of a huge dam / reservoir has deeply changed the views to the neighborhood. Where there was only countryside you can see now an endlessly water surface.
After posting some sketches I was invited by ADIM, a local association, to show my sketchbooks. This happened last summer in a cozy gallery called Casa dos Sapos and I was very happy with it. Next week the show will move to Reguengos, a neighbor town, and will be installed in an old granary, together with the wonderful photos of Jurgen Irp
You can find some more sketches of Monsaraz in BONECOS DE BOLSO

Simple and fresh as eastern traditional painting with enough margin.

I love how in few lines you build a space!
I love the way you often (though not always) give us views through narrow spaces ( doors, archways, windows) to the big world beyond.

Minimal scenes, minimal drawings, I love so much the quiet atmosphere.
The way you use big white spaces is really enchanting
I know Monsaraz and is a beautiful small town indeed
Lovely. You manage to capture these intricate places in such a simple and clean manner.
The bottom sketch is very evocative, I feel as if I'm there.
