Somehow painting gave me directions. I like oil paints because of its fluidity and the facility that it provides. I like the contrast dark-light compositional technique in my paintings. As an artist i make use of every color with exception of ivory black. Human figure is what appears in most of my paintings because i feel like enhancing the concept of humanity. I take the time adequately needed to appreciate and give more detail to my paintings. Music is one of the things that inspire me. It fills the void that is within any artist."Exhibitions2001: 1st Irmaos Unidos exhibiton entitled Ze Carlos ka muri in Centro Estudos Brasileiro in Bissau (Guinea-Bissau).2001: The popular fair of Resistencia da Guine-Bissau.2001: Toca tchur di cultura in Bissau.2001: International Fair of Dakar (Senegal).2002: 2nd Internacional Festival for Peace and Regional Integration in Cambadju (Guine-Bissau).2002: Cultural Week tributed to Jose Carlos Schwartz in Bissau (Guinea-Bissau).2002: Exhibition of Guinean Paintings organized by C.C.P. in commemoration of June 10 Portugal Day in Bissau (Guinea-Bissau).2002: Invitation to Irmaos-Unidos to exhibit in Youth World Employment Forum in Alexandria (Egypt).2002: 2nd Exhibition of Irmaos-Unidos entitled cultura e a nossa riqueza in RTP Africa (Bissau).2002: Lemos, Carbar and M.Djibol in C.C.P in Bissau (Guinea-Bissau).2003: Auction with Carbar, M.Djibol and Diamantino (Guinea-Bissau).2003: C.C.P. with Carbar and M.Djibol on "Day of Camoes, Portugal, and the Portuguese Communities" (Guinea-Bissau).2003: Saint-Louis (Senegal).2003: 3rd exhibition of Irmaos-Unidos at the invitation of Instituto da Investigacao e do Patrimonio Cultura no Palacio da Cultura (Cape-Verde).2003: Lemos, Carbar and M.Djibol in C.C.P (Guinea-Bissau).2004: On the reopen of C.C.F.B.G.
