Ângelo César Cardoso de Sousa was born on February 2, 1938, in Mozambique. Thanks to a scholarship in Fine Arts from the Caixa Económica Postal de Lourenço Marques, he moved to Portugal at the age of 17 and settled in Porto. He enrolled in the painting course at the Escola Superior de Belas Artes do Porto, where he studied from 1955 to 1963, soon joining the faculty for almost four decades and becoming the first full professor in Painting at that faculty, having retired in 2000. It was also in Porto that he held his first solo exhibition (1959) with Almada Negreiros, at the Divulgação Gallery. Between 1961 and 1969, he worked as a set and costume designer at the Teatro Experimental do Porto. In the mid-1960s, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. In the 1967-68 academic year, he attended St. Martin's School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Arts (London) on a British Council scholarship (awarded by the British Government). In London, he bought his first film camera and began taking photographs systematically. The early 1970s marked the experimentalism of 8mm film.In 1972, he became an Associate Professor at ESBAP. That year, he returned to painting, composing his first “envelope paintings” with trichromatic paints.

Only in 2001 did he start working with the diversity of acrylic colors available on the market. He drew all his life and published several books of drawings.He died on March 29, 2001, in the city of Porto.
