Born in Lagos in 1955, lived his youth in Namibe (Angola) where he started to paint. As a gifted artist with great ability, Virgílio Raposo not only awakens us to the world that we live in, but also reflects serenity and quietness of man's best designs on to his works.
Full of character, his works reveal themselves through a surprisingly good interpretation of colour. This is further underlined when one considers his favourite theme: the Algarve coastline. With such a bright intensity of light, this is particulary difficult to transfer onto canvas.
Since 1979 he has been exhibiting regularly in Portugal and has a permanent exhibition in the Hotel Lapa Palace and has held various exhibitions in the Hotel Quinta do Lago.
