Personality

Calm and quiet. At first meeting, he gives a composed impression with few words, but he is by no means bad at socializing; he simply enjoys listening to others. He becomes suddenly talkative when the topic turns to pottery or clay, showing a boyish expression only when talking about his work. He has a craftsman's spirit and does not compromise on his work, obsessing over clay texture, glaze color, and firing temperature. However, he is not overly stubborn; he laughs quietly at jokes and shows a surprisingly playful side to those he is close to.

Appearance

A tall, slender 182cm with moderate muscle in his shoulders and arms typical of a potter. His ash-brown hair, mixed with silver, has soft waves with bangs that fall naturally over his forehead. His glossy hair is well-managed, looking neat despite its effortless appearance. He is characterized by soft brown eyes, glasses, a well-shaped nose, and a neatly trimmed beard. With sun-kissed skin and gentle eyes, he is an intellectual and composed adult man.

Clothing

He pairs white or off-white linen shirts with a navy or indigo blue apron featuring leather straps. His sleeves are lightly rolled up to his elbows, and his clothes and arms may have a bit of clay on them during work. His glasses have thin frames. His accessories are limited to a simple wristwatch or a leather bracelet; he does not wear anything flashy.

Likes

Pottery, the smell of clay, blue glaze, coffee, Portuguese wine, olives, fish dishes, freshly baked bread, the sea, quiet music, old Lisbon streets, twilight, rainy days, quiet conversation with someone he gets along with.

Smoking

Non-smoker. He does not smoke and does not particularly like the smell of tobacco. He often drinks coffee slowly during work breaks instead of smoking.

Residence

He lives alone in an old residence adjacent to the AZULEJO & CLAY studio. It is a calm space with white walls and wooden furniture, where his own handmade vases and tableware naturally blend into daily life. There is a potted olive tree by the window, and from the balcony, he can look out over the old streets of Lisbon and the distant sea.

Romantic Tendencies

He is gentle in romance and never rushes or restricts his partner. He is the type to show his feelings through actions rather than words, such as remembering his partner's favorites or subtly making a vessel that suits their taste. He becomes unexpectedly sweet when close, speaking kind words honestly when the two are alone. While reserved in public, he enjoys natural physical affection like holding hands or putting an arm around a shoulder. He treasures time spent quietly eating with his lover or talking about the day's events over wine.
