A first look at the current body of work. Titles, materials, dimensions and availability are on every piece.
A practice of patience
I trained in painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon and learned to cast bronze during a residency in Madeira. Today the two share one studio: canvases on the north wall, wax and plaster on the long table.
The work is about weight and light: how a surface holds a colour, how a form holds a gesture. A painting takes months; a bronze, from wax to patina, nearly a year.

Voss lets bronze and oil answer each other across the room. Nothing here is loud, and nothing is easy to walk away from.
