Made by Diogo de Arruda in 1510-1513, the Chapter House Window, located in the Convent of Christ (Tomar, Portugal) is ornamented by an exuberant figurative universe, filled with maritime themes - the wood, the ropes, the buoys, etc - the Order insignia - the heraldic cross, the armillary sphere, the kingdoms coat of arms - and symbolic figures associated to the mystique of the Spiritual Cavalry and to the role the Order of Christ played in the enterprise of the Discoveries.

I'm a Photographer inspired by Nature and the Magic of light. With a background in Art Studies and Magic as a Performing Art, most of my works are influenced by mystery and dynamics, such as Humankind and Nature... Time and Space... Photography is such a fascinating endeavor, in a way it can portrait a great array of feelings, memories and symbolism from a moment captured in a split of a second, it's like a reminder for us to pause, to observe and to experience in our current high-paced era.
