Welcome to Rebel Strokes
Hey there! Imagine a place where art isn't just something to admire from afar, but a rich, living conversation about what it means to be alive. That's Rebel Strokes.
This isn't your usual art publication. It's a raw, unfiltered dive into the creative process - my creative process. Here, you'll find the pages I don't show: half-formed ideas, messy sketches, and doubt-filled journal entries. You'll see photography that captures more than just images, paintings that bleed emotion, and words that refuse to play by the rules.
But it's not just about art. It's about culture, society, and the chaotic beauty of the human experience. It's about asking uncomfortable questions and seeking answers that might not exist.
And here's the kicker - I'm writing a book. Right here, right now, in real-time. It's terrifying, exhilarating, and absolutely necessary for my own sanity.
This is Rebel Strokes reimagined. It's more of me, my art, and the thoughts that keep me up at night. It's a journey into the unknown, and I'm inviting you along for the ride.

About the Author
I am neither a Millennial, nor a Baby Boomer, I am a Xennial, a Multipotentialite, a lost procrastinating soul who loves art.
In 1980, Madrid gave me life, a Xennial caught between analog roots and digital growth.
My childhood: a rocky road, softened by my grandmother's nurturing love and art.
At 23, Dublin's embrace led me to discover photography, capturing life's unfiltered essence.
Lisbon then painted three years of my journey with vibrant cultural strokes.
Love drew me to Aarhus in 2016, where art and entrepreneurship intertwined.
Fatherhood in 2022 added a new, joyous layer to my life's canvas.
Each chapter, from tech endeavors to creative pursuits, builds into my story of resilience, exploration, and the ever-evolving human experience.
