The Hedgehog Dilemma (2020) was a painting project developed during the first Portuguese SARS-CoV-2 lockdown. It consists of four oil paintings on wood.

The compositions are a blend of classic narratives and reality, featuring the painter’s father as the model. It is a deeply personal exercise that uses observational painting to create a connection between the painter and his father.
