Colourful paintings

D’sons art was influenced by the rich culture which surrounded him growing up. He uses acrylic paint on canvas to portray the landmarks of Bahia and its distinctive characters. He also paints landscapes and seascapes inspired by places that he has lived and visited such as Portugal, the UK and, of course, Brazil. A painting by D’son can rapidly be recognized because of his distinctive colourful style. D’son currently lives and works in Wales in the UK.
