I'm 17 years old and live in Portugal ( Southeastern Europe).

Currently I'm finishing high school and intend to go to college and follow Microbiology (Virology) or Chemical Clinical Analysis. I've always enjoyed dinosaurs. Since I was a little kid when I started to draw them and learn about them. Still today I'm really addicted to Jurassic Park (Lost World) and the recent BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs. I also love herpetology and ornithology, which aids in both inspiration when painting and drawing.

Dinosaurs still live; they're today's birds, and that is my most deep conscience. They must be looked at as the most diverse animal group that ever walked and walks the Earth.
