The end of things, a taboo for many people, is something I’ve always taken for granted. I’ve lived with this concept since I was very young.
[ Isaac ]

Isaac was born in Porto, in 1975, but says he was only born six years later, when he found himself standing at the entrance to his father’s grocery store, looking at the huge granite wall of the former Cadeia da Relação
(Jail and Court of Appeal of Porto) – his first memory of himself. At a young age, he wanted to be a pastry chef, but ended up working in a pharmacy. In addition, in a daily struggle for survival, he assembled computers, reproduced technical architectural projects and worked as a driver for a moving company.
In fact, it was art he liked the most, so he kept postponing his dream of one day leaving his mark on the world through art. In recent years he has worked as an assistant in graphic design companies, taking the opportunity to develop his innate artistic skills. By mere chance, this activity led him to regularly come across Porto’s art district, and he is now one of the biggest bets of the Cruzes Canhoto gallery.
In Isaac’s artistic creations, the Judeo-Christian heritage, dualistic and apocalyptic, that strongly marked his childhood and youth, is clearly evident. These are works created in painting or drawing, on canvas, wood, paper or cardboard, with a naïve surrealist expression.
