My pieces express an emotion, state of mind, or a moment past by infusing line, shape and figure to convey a story, a piece; with a beginning, a middle, and an end. I capture moments of my life, or elements from historical paintings that resonate with our times and help inform our future. It’s this emotional resonance that I draw upon in my work.
Graduated in Advertising at PUC Campinas, developed works on 3 continents, 39 countries.
