Natalino (Anata) dos reis Pires is an accomplished senior artist in residence in Arte Moris http://www.artemoris.tp/ in Dili the Free Art School. He comes from Suai Loro which is about 20 minutes drive from Suai on the Timor Sea…

Natalino says “My early drawing exercises were monitored by a friend of my brother from Indonesia who introduced me in different kinds of pencil techniques and how to analyze the shape of the object in the drawing. These moments made me feel free and since (those) days I (have) never stoped being creative, therefore art became my main passion in my life.” (Dili April 2009)
