Biography

José Fernando Pinheiro Lopes de Sá Machado was born on October 7th 2004 in the city of Braga, and is currently based in Vila de Prado. He studied Visual Arts at Alberto de Sampaio High School, and it was in the 12th grade that he started his independent artistic practices in photography, cinema, music, writing and plastic arts. In 2022 he enrolled in the School of Arts of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in Porto, where he completed the 1st year of the Degree in Cinema, under a merit scholarship. His artistic approach is oxymoronic by nature, focusing on expressing the broad contradiction of the human condition.
