Biography

Dolores, whose real name is Tiago Alexandre Angeja Abade, was born on October 9th, 1993, in Lisbon, Portugal. He is a multifaceted artist who works as a director, photographer, and producer. In 2018, he graduated from ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics and Management and set out to pursue his passion for art and cinema by delving into photography and filmmaking. During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, he participated in a filmmaking initiative and completed his first short film, Raquelaria, in 2020. The film has been showcased at various international film festivals in cities such as Lisbon, Portugal, and Córdoba, Argentina, since then. Beyond my creative pursuits, I've exhibited my photography internationally, in 2023. In Tribeca, New York, my work adorned The Holy Art exhibition, showcasing the diverse narratives captured through my lens. Additionally, I've held impactful exhibitions at the LAR project in Ferroviário (April) and Verde-Lima (September), connecting with audiences who appreciate the power of visual storytelling. Dolores is also the founder of Dead Pomb, a production company that has produced music videos for artists and bands such as Rafa, Ceuta, Herdade das Pontas, Luís Almeida, Cocoa Shrimp Safari, João Mesquita and Francisco Mascaralhas. As his creative journey unfolds, he's currently studying documentary filmmaking at KINO-DOC in Lisbon, gaining innovative insights and technical skills. I'm excited to share upcoming projects. Co-directing with Wynton Guess, our short film 'Doctor Vilar' is set to release soon. Additionally, mark your calendars for a photography exhibition in June, 2024 at Com Calma - Espaço Cultural, where my visual narratives will come to life. Join me on this exciting exploration of storytelling through film and photography.
