For him, the allure of photography lies in its ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, to elevate the rhythms of daily life into living art. He finds inspiration in the raw energy of public transportation hubs, where commuters hustle and bustle, each with their own story to tell. It's here, amidst the chaos of transit terminals, that Patrício's lens finds its focus, freezing moments in time that encapsulate the human experience.
Drawing parallels to the work of Andy Warhol,he embraces the concept of art imitating life, weaving a tapestry of urban narratives through his photographs. His images are a testament to the beauty found in the ordinary, the poetry hidden within the mundane. With each click of the shutter, he invites viewers to see the world through his eyes, to appreciate the fleeting moments that shape our daily existence.

But his journey as a photographer didn't begin overnight. A lifelong lover of the visual arts, he honed his craft through years of study and exploration. After completing his education in Cinema, Video, and Photography at Lusófona University in Lisbon, he embarked on a career in the performing arts, working as a producer in theatre, contemporary dance, and film. Yet, despite his success in the industry, his passion for photography burned bright, beckoning him to forge a new path.
