Men of honour

 Hello world…I have been very quiet in the the net these last months. I traveled to India to Easter islands and those trips were quite remarquable and fulfilling. I needed time out of the studio recharging the batteries searching questioning myself…a lot! What it is that i create? What is the purpose? One of my clients told me recently that my art comes from the heart and it makes him feel connected with his beloved when he offered her one of my albums. It was an unique and special gift one that she will remembered and treasured. I felt quite empowered. How priceless is that for an artist? Tears come to my eyes and…THANK YOU was my answer.  THANK YOU for the trust THANK YOU for the feedback THANK YOU for the connection HAVE FUN ENJOY XOXOXO

When a man loves a woman…

                                                                 Latest album ordered by a beautiful woman for her wedding. At first the album was her special heart gift for her husband to be but i sense when creating why not make it a surprise for them both? So they had their wedding in the midst of the forest(how cool is that?) along with their three children, family and friendsand in the next morning they opened the album which celebrates their mutual love. Here is just a glimpse of it of course as the fotos are private… Hope you enjoy it. Have a nice week end xo

Momento Mágico…

Recebi este mail lindo e queria partihar. (Sorry for those who don’t speak portuguese, received this magic mail from a client and was touched to tears. Beautiful written…someone with a true soul) Olá Alexandra!Conheci o seu trabalho há uns dois anos através do seu marido.Explico-lhe como se passou:Era Dezembro e fazia frio. Andava a divagar pelo Chiado aquele sitio que nao esquecemos pela luz e vida incrível, aquele lugar que nos trás algumas lembranças e memórias de infância, aquele Chiado que está sempre diferente a cada momento, que nos transporta para fora de nós e nos faz sentir livres por sermos quem somos.Andava a divagar depois de uma fim de semana romântico em que celebrávamos,como sempre, os anos do S, deambulava pelas ruas olhando para tudo e para nada.Mas de repente parei porque nao consegui andar mais.Parei numa pequena banca com coisas lindas, cheias de história e histórias. Fiquei vidrada.Reparei que pertencia a um Homem com ar distinto e afável e por isso perguntei:“É o senhor que faz?”Ao que me respondeu com um sorriso eterno nos olhos: “Nao, é a minha …

On compassion…

 Sorry guys…been rather lazy on blogging lately! This album was a special order from a woman in love. What is there other than being in love? Love for your man, your woman, your kids, your pets, your friends(should have put the friends before the pets but one is never deceived by pets!) Love is what we all seek, yet it can be hard and challenging but in the end is what we’ll take with us.  Just open randomly the Dalai’s Lama book ” the art of happiness”quoting… In generating compassion, you start by recognizing that you do not want suffering and that you have a right to have happiness. This can be verified or validated by your own experience. So… let us meditate on compassion today. Begin by visualizing a person who is acutely suffering, someone who is in pain or in a very unfortunate situation. Try to relate that to yourself, thinking, “that individual has the same capacity for experiencing pain, joy, happiness and suffering than i do”. Then, try to allow your natural response to arise- a natural …

A man in Love…

My last album is most of the time my favorite one! I have sold quite a few lately which is good of course but realize that i have some trouble with it. I know that my clients will cherish and appreciate them but still…i miss those who are gone forever. I know that my fellow artists have the same feeling…A customer was telling me that what she liked about my work was that it convey a fragility and force at the same time. She loved the authenticity of my work understanding how family and being connected  was the backbone of it and yet there is still space for the unknown and my private garden, she was confinding. Wow thank you! I had wings that day, the sky seemed unlimited…I want to hold those good feelings  and thoughts Heading to Washington DC and… to Paper Source in Georgetown. Have a good week Enjoy Have fun Open up XO

Being in Love…

If I could have just one wish,I would wish to wake up everydayto the sound of your breath on my neck,the warmth of your lips on my cheek,the touch of your fingers on my skin,and the feel of your heart beating with mine…Knowing that I could never find that feelingwith anyone other than you. Hope you like my new album! Dedicated to the lovers of the world… Those who’ve just fall in love and others like myself who are married with a prince for a couple of years Xo
