We could see that João found some inspiration from Malangatana, Mozambique 's famous painter. And there was inspiration from Melanesian/Aboriginal art with lizards and crocodiles, a heritage from the time João and Jolanda spent in Timor-leste? Jolanda, Ariana en António, wij wensen jullie heel veel sterkte met jullie verlies. Samen met jullie zullen we de herinnering aan João levend houden. Mirjam, Nico, Lucas

I met João fort the first time at a meeting at the primary school “de Nude” in Wageningen, in a discussion the school organized with some parents on bi-lingual teaching. Joao’s children were already bi-lingual, maybe tri-lingual… It took me some time to find out that João was the father of António, classmate of Lucas, and Ariana, classmate of Nico. Lucas remembers well that, when playing at António’s home, João would call them to come and eat fruit that he prepared. Later, I found out that we had a “shared past” working in Mozambique for rural development. Nico went to Portugal in 2019, to learn Portuguese (again) and he visited João and António in Alportel, were he was received with great hospitality. He spent one week, enjoying the company, the discussions, and the cooking of João and António. João encouraged him to speak Portuguese: you speak well, you just need to learn more words…. Jolanda, Ariana en António, wij wensen jullie heel veel sterkte met jullie verlies. Samen met jullie zullen we de herinnering aan João levend houden. Mirjam, Nico, Lucas

No photo - but some images I have - when thinking of Joao... - his irresistable smile ... - always a cigarette in between his lips or fingers... - and usually a 'cerveja' or a glass of red wine near by... - his special style - wide colourful african shirts, - his love for cooking, esp. portuguese cuisine and long evenings at long dinner tables ... - his ability to endless talking... - his very special paintings We met in Sao Bras de Alportel, soon after your family and mine returned from Africa - Niger and Namibia. - With children in exactly the same age... and a shared interest in Africa we became friends easily. I still remember our first encounter - at a parents' evening for Antonio's and Inga's pre-school programme. We had met Antonio already and heard about his 'French' family who came from Africa like we did from the teacher ... And there they sat, Joao and Jolanda in their brightly coloured African clothes - easy to recognize. From then on we shared a lot of time together, whreeby Joao often preferred to stay at home and prepare the dinner, while we went on outings etc. with Jolanda and the kids. Mara, my older daugher and Ariana's childhood friend said, that she still remembers Joao's smokey voice and his deliciously cooked food. The last time I saw Joao was on the 6th of January, when I met him in the pharmacy in Sao Bras, just before I was about to leave to Ghana and he told me about his trip to Senegal.

O amor quando tem foi conseguido Se encerra é capítulo Livro da esperança em dúvida quando vem:sem título No vagar respirar sem pressa da promessa: o dever cumprido.

João Se no dia 25 de Janeiro deste ano tivesse adivinhado que seria a última vez que almoçaríamos juntos, rodeados de família e amigos - tua maior especialidade - rindo seriamente de tudo e mais alguma coisa, falando da vida, da situação do mundo, dos filhos e netos e pais, das artes, da fome, das maleitas, das músicas, dos refugiados, das telas, dos projectos... tudo sempre de forma furiosamente honesta e entrelaçada e com a segurança dos afectos que não se desmancham por qualquer discordância, por mais funda que seja, ou por mais teimosamente opaca que se nos apresente... ter-me-ia despedido de ti de outra maneira. Tivesse eu sequer imaginado que irias sair pela porta do cavalo, com certeza tão surpreendido quanto todos nós e completamente em desacordo com tal evento, ainda mais contrariado por causa de um bicho que te obrigou a ficar em isolamento e distância social, coisa tão nos antípodas da tua persistente e amorosa forma de cultivar amizades... e teria mais vezes realçado as aprendizagens que todos nós temos a fazer contigo nesse capítulo em especial. Assim, apesar de só me apetecer chamar-te nomes, tal a zanga que me alugou o coração por estes dias, só espero que tenhas encontrado um novo caminho de venturas, desafios, telas a encher de cor e vida e também que tivesses à tua espera uma enorme comitiva de familiares e amigos para te abraçar, tranquilizar, ciceronar, oferecer-te um copo e fazer-te dar a tal gargalhada que um dia havia de soar ainda mais alto... Cuidado, não te engasgues! Eu sei que não haverias de perder pitada destes dias que são tão de vida como todos os outros... Meu grande filho da mãe: vai preparando aí um lugar e uma mesa bem grande para que daqui a umas horitas, segundo o tempo cósmico, possas receber com o teu habitual sorriso rasgado e um bom copo do que cada um mais gostar, a avalanche de gente que te vai cair em cima. Por agora, aqui fica um abraço infectadíssimo de afecto. Sentiste? Até, meu querido irmão! Teresa Muge
