Pedro do Vale, the artist, pays tribute to the poet Fernando Pessoa by creating two lithographs. These lithographs have a symbolic print run of 47 copies, representing the years of Pessoa's life.

In this series of lithographs, Pedro do Vale joins the lineage of artists who have created an iconography inspired by the personality, face, and figure of the genius and internationally recognized poet Fernando Pessoa. This lineage includes artists such as Almada Negreiros, Júlio Pomar, Costa Pinheiro, Pedro Chorão, Alfredo Margarido, Miguel Yeco, and Rico Sequeira, among many others.

Drawing inspiration from a famous verse by Álvaro de Campos, "I, the ghost born from all sensations," Pedro do Vale evokes the game of heteronyms, the diversity, and complexity of the "drama in people," a definition coined by the poet himself, which made him famous.

Pedro do Vale

Born in Barreiro in 1990, but grew up in Ourém, and later in Faro, where he spent his adolescence. According to him, he became acquainted with the tones of the countryside and later the sea, expressing his fascination for nature and the contemplation it provides. At the age of 19, he experienced the frenzy of a larger city when he moved to Lisbon to study at the Faculty of Fine Arts, where he graduated in Drawing. He mainly draws and paints commissioned portraits. Over the past four years, he has split his time between Lisbon and California, where he has clients. Sometimes he takes breaks and dedicates himself to other interests and projects; during one of these moments, he traveled to Nantes and worked as a special education assistant, being in contact with young people with social issues. Another passion he has is music, to which he devotes himself. He regularly exhibits his work and was awarded the 3rd Prize - Design Galp Energia and the 4th Prize - Galp Energia Arte in 2015.
