Gervásio  
Was born in 1972, in Monchique, South Portugal. Very early on he felt that painting would be an essential part of his life. He went to Lisbon where he attended classes in various art schools, acquiring experience and skills
 
The artist makes use of forms and elements that cannot be recognized and do not follow an objective reality. His main concern is to define the concept of each individual painting, always aiming to awaken specific reactions in a very subtle manner.
 
As if newly born, the artist begins by trying to find a place in the world and the way that leads to the realization of his wishes. On his way he confronts obstacles. He makes mistakes. Again and again. Rebuffed, he falls, gets up and tries again. He searches for something that maybe does not exist, but which is certainly beautiful.
