Action Plan
My goal is to embrace an international artistic career by exhibiting in all the best galleries I have the chance to work with. To achieve this I believe I must apply not just for galleries but also for an MA, for prizes and commissions. This became my main professional ambition since my first public display because I felt that was the kind of experience I wanted to pursue as much further as I possibly could. If I am given the opportunity one day I would also like to teach in an English or American University and later on in Portugal .

Mid Term Plan
This proved to be quite difficult to plan because the goals I put forward have to be realistic and on the other hand I believe I can not predict with any accuracy what will be happening during this period of time. AN magazine will probably prove to be quite useful for this phase of my life.
