BIO

Frederico Cordeiro Ferreira (b. 1978) is a portuguese visual artist. From an early age, he has expressed interest in art and nature, 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.
