Weekend Magazine: How did you start painting?
Vasco Manhica: I started ever since I can remember. You know children paint and draw, so I never stopped, but I took it serious.

WM: What kind of art do you make?
Manhica: Well, my work is developing. I started with the traditional Western standard works. Visual art schools, realistic drawings and painting using Western references. At a certain point I started doing my own research and looking for my own references.

WM: Can you remember one of your early works?
Manhica: Like I said, I never stopped, and only my parents would remember that. 

WM: So you only paint?
Manhica: For the moment my work is based on drawings and paintings, based on my research, which involves analysing society and visualising it through painting.

WM: For how long have you been in this residency programme?
Manhica: It’s a month’s residency which started three weeks ago.
