BIO
Frederico Cordeiro Ferreira (Coruche - Portugal, 1978) has expressed his interest in art and nature from an early age, having studied music, drawing, scriptwriting, film direction, photography and agronomics.
With several film, writing and photography works developed and exhibited, he assumes a poetic language as an identity trait and a common thread between transdisciplinary artistic projects, keeping the importance of the composition, the perspective and the subtext, to the detriment of the artifice.
