Jorge Pé Curto was born in 1955 in Moura. He has been living in Almada since 1965.
At the age of ten, he began attending the Centro Artístico Infantil at the Castle of S. Jorge, which was mentored by the painter Hermano Baptista. Later, he studied sculpture at the Antonio Arroio School as a scholar of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
In 1981, together with other artists, he founded IMARGEM in Almada, a project that he would later abandon. He was also a teacher in the official education system for 17 years.
