Biography

Some words about me

... so, where to start?... ok, my first name is Tiago, my parents gave me 5 names to live with, therefore you will know me as Tiago Manuel Oliveira (for short). Manuel is my second name, also considered as a first name che moi and Oliveira is my last of 3 surnames. I was born portuguese (but consider myself as a world citizan) in late 70's... yep, last century.

I studied lots of different things, grew up around engeneers, economists and doctors (convencional medicine), learned some music when I was yonger, but when College came about, well, I decided for something a little different, so visual arts are my doings. I'll do almost all, from free hand drawing and painting to digital 3D media, you'll often find me somewhere in the middle.

I am passionate for lots of things, specially if they are self expression or self wareness related. I am almost vegan, meaning that I still eat/consume some animal byproducts, but I do not buy any... or try not to. Lets just say that I am a relaxed vegeterian... for quite some time already (20 years+?). My preference also goes into organic food and I avoid processed goods as I possibly can.

Yoga and martial arts are also part of my life, because I pretend to get to 120+ years old phisically and mentally healthy! They became my inner blood, part of my daylly being. Instead of doing metitation I feel I live in meditation, constantly...

Last about this short bio, I have 2 kids with 3 years and 3 days diference, and ave been living with the same girl for more than... most.

... and for my final words on this, LOVE is universal. LOVE life in all its forms, shapes and sizes.
