Blaufuks wanted to be a writer from an early age, but lacked confidence in his ability.
In 1989, he won the Portuguese Kodak Award despite the fact he had to settle in court with the company.
In 1991, Blaufuks published, with Paul Bowles, My Tangier, and in 1994, the London Diaries, followed by Ein Tag in Mostar (1995) and Uma Viagem a S. Petersburgo (1998).
At one time or another, he lived in England and the United States and traveled in Europe, India, Russia, Africa and South America.
As well as producing many exhibitions, Blaufuks directed several films and videos: Life is not a picnic (1998, a film without a story), Black and White (2000, the story of a girl who becomes color-blind), Under Strange Skies (2002, a documentary on the Jewish refugees in Lisbon during and after the Second World War), Reversed Landscapes (2002, a film on Portuguese architecture), and Slightly Smaller than Indiana (2006, a documentary about contemporary Portugal).
