"Si comí cuando era un bebé, mis adultos podrían agradecerle las historias. Hoy soy el adulto y el que agradece las historias por la comida. Uno de los gestos de Beatrix Potter creo que he crecido una mezcla de los dos con todos los libros que he leído o Lee. Y tal vez también de todos los libros que se dicen a sí mismos dentro de mí, en protesta y ternura, esperando que yo los escriba".

"Nací en un lugar donde las montañas son tan altas que puedes llegar fácilmente al cielo. Y probablemente por eso, siempre quise tener una parte solo para mí.

"Nací en Portugal pero pronto fui a Mozambique donde viví mi infancia más feliz. Recuerdo las lluvias torrenciales y el olor a tierra mojada, la risa de mi madre y su humor creativo. Y fotografías. En Oporto estudié diseño de moda pero nunca me gustó nada más que dibujar e imaginando la vida con algo de delirio y muchos colores. Cada libro ilustrado es un descubrimiento, un desafío en el que el miedo viene primero que la determinación. Desde el naranja impulsivo, abro la puerta y creo que nunca creceré de verdad".

Fortunately, Nuppita was born on a portal surrounded by train lines and without stars. His first great feat was to prevent him from baptizing him with the name of Jesus. Sometimes he jokes when he says it was the first and only time he arrived on time somewhere. Since then, he draws and imagines with great perseverance. It started with a chick. Then came the horses, dogs, cats, lions and mermaids. Sometimes his drawings come to life, just like Roland did. Perhaps this happens because he stuck his head in a volcano. Loves strawberries, tomatoes, croissants and bad jokes. He loves to draw stories, dreaming of books, inventing games and singing "Cómo Una Ola" at the top of his lungs. Never go out without your hat. There's a dog called Epi.

"Como un poco, usé los dibujos para hablar cuando las palabras estaban escondidas debajo de la alfombra de la timidez. Pasé mis días construyendo juguetes con mis manos y haciendo cuadernos para la morada de los dibujos que a veces saltaban de las hojas de papel y huían a las paredes en casa. Día, esto es Más o menos lo que sigo haciendo y, en los intervalos, me gusta sentir y moldear el barro de la tierra y encontrar formas hermosas en ella para vivir el mundo".
