André collaborated with the producer Cut Films until 2014, when he was invited to be a part of Vhils Studio’s and Underdogs Gallery’s teams, where he worked as a director, camera operator and editor. In this context, André was the editor of several videos directed by Alexandre Farto aka Vhils and was, himself, the director of many videos about the artist. He was also the author of several videos about Underdogs Gallery’s projects and artists, such as Ernest Zacharevic, AkaCorleone, Sainer, ±MaisMenos±, Finok, Pedro Matos and so on. Between 2015 and 2016, André worked with the creative unit Solid Dogma, signing videoclips, and commercial and institucional movies for television and other entities.
The language developed by André during his career expresses an authorial intentionality to create visual compositions full of complex narratives, linear and nonlinear, exploring metaphorical and poetic dimensions that invite a personal interpretation of its histories.
