The Neighbours series is a visual reflection on the bonds we form within our communities—especially in times of uncertainty. Inspired by my move to Lisbon during the pandemic, these paintings capture the quiet yet profound connections I’ve built with my neighbours. Through intimate depictions of objects and scenes that evoke their presence, I explore themes of companionship, resilience, and belonging. Each work is a tribute to the individuals who welcomed me into this new environment, highlighting the warmth of shared moments and the small but meaningful gestures that define our everyday interactions. In these paintings, I seek to preserve not just their stories but the emotions and sense of home they have offered me.
