So we began with the first MAJALIS Exhibition in 2023… Organized by Ricardo Cruzes and curated by architect Carlos Ribeiro at the Ethnographic Museum of Canha.
Ricardo Cruzes was born in France. He graduated in “Painting and Communication Design” from ARCA-EUAC, where he had the opportunity to study with great names such as Armando Azevedo, João Dixo, and António Modesto.

After gaining experience in the business world as a manager and producer of creative projects in various design disciplines, in 2008 he decided to intensify his artistic activity, holding his first public demonstrations in 2009.

Ricardo Cruzes is currently Artist in Residence at LAC - Laboratório de Atividades Criativas (Creative Activities Laboratory) in Lagos, Portugal, where he has been practicing art full-time since April 2021.

At the invitation of MAJALIS, he exhibited some of his works during the Festas de Nossa Sra. da Oliveira in 2023.
