João Amado, a native of São Miguel (Azores), and self-taught in the art world, is a plastic artist who uses analog collage to make up the visual and conceptual structure of his work. The meticulous and precise character of his work, combined with themes centered on the spirit and the relationship of man with the world, has the main goal to provide to the viewer a sense of travel, a bridge with fantasy, and a return to the most natural.
