Create Portugal at LXFactory




A little movie made at late night of our art show in the Open Day07 of LxFactory, last Friday. Our special thank you for all the artists involved, visitors, LxFactory, friends and family for making this evening so much fun!! We hope this teaser opens your appetite to come and see the show, until the 4th of December.

Vegetarian wisdom






About ten years ago something happened inside of me that made me stop eating meat. I simply could not justify the killing of an animal and from the core of my being I just knew that was wrong. Ever since then I've always have defended in my surroundings my choice of not murdering an innocent animal, not for survival (as proven by us vegetarians) but for the mere pleasure of eating it. It can be tiring to go against the stream sometimes, but in the end I need to do what I believe is right. This poster series is for me and my fellow vegetarians swimming upstream, a reminder that we're among great men.

Anatomia do corpo humano











These are some of the illustrations scanned from another ancient book found. On the border between the weird and the amazing, the human and the alien… to remember and maybe inspire.

7 days to go


Next Friday the 11.11.11 we are inaugurating a group exhibition with Create Portugal, a network for artists living in and around Lisbon, Ribatejo and Central Portugal. The art show is going to be in LX factory, Lisbon on the second floor of the main building. We invite you all to join us for some fine art, wine and food at 7pm.

Love Francisca and Jens

A friend of mine


A friend of mine, soul reader, told me some time ago that my place was in Nature, that was going to help express and develop my art. “Go back to the trees” …was the sentence that was constantly appearing in my thoughts. 


In contrary to what the system says, I like to believe that we should flow in life like a river. Like a leaf that floats in the course of a river supported by the detours of the little waves, pushed by the branches, and flowing with the sound of the Universe to some determined destiny. –“Don’t make planes for Life so you don’t spoil the plans Life as for you”. – The system says we have to fight for life. Competition, instead of mutual help, is something that we are motivated to since school time, and much more other nonsense that format us since the beginning of our supposed education.  


Like this I’ve meet Jens and Francisca. They’ve invited me to visit their home in Quinta das Praias, and they showed me a little house next to theirs. I’ve accepted right away their invitation to change. Quinta das Praias is located in an oasis of trees, surrounded by huge fields of agricultural plantations. A few hundred meters ahead is the rive Tagus in its wild state, with big islands of branches and logs in which the big birds land. At 2 km the city of Santarém, at 80 from Lisbon.




Jens and Francisca are beautiful beings. Wise in spirit and Art, yoga lovers, the ideal companions for who shares the same ideals and life philosophy. Twenty years of age difference for me, but in the matters of the soul, we know time doesn’t exist. A year ago they’ve left Barcelona and came to Santarém, to start the project of a residency for artists. And I am the first resident artist. I hope this is the beginning of something big.

Manuel Maçonnique











This ancient book from the 19th century, exactly from 1853, was found among the family books. On the cover the name is Mécanique but inside reveals information about the initiation of the 33 degrees of free masons. The knowledge is old with mixture of Hebraic and Egyptian ceremonies. For some they are the responsible for the crisis upon our planet with the final goal of one world government and global enslavement (more info David Icke).
