Das Nove às Seis is a drawing piece (in the sense of what activates performativity in drawing) that made use of a dispositive possibility the collective exhibition that reads the artist as a corporate worker, worthy of his own office to critically inscribe himself in it. In the continuity of this project, Ovídio, as a worker-artist, during the hours of nine to six, proposes the drawing of the work plan and the resulting works. The drawing becomes the place, the place is the workplace, and the worker builds the place. The circle feeds itself.

Lisboa,1989. Works between Lisbon and Toulouse. Through a multidisciplinary approach, his work starts from the thematic breadth of the human condition, responding to labour conditions, or simply reflecting his daily life, his passage and pilgrimage through the ever-changing world. Using painting and drawing as spontaneous foundations of thought, he also expresses himself through sculpture, sound, video and performance, from which he explores the varied themes in both poetic and playful way.
