  • Where do you live?
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil.

  • Which method / technique do you use?
In my art I use acrylic, oil pastel and I also do digital art.

  • How would you describe your style / designs?

I paint intuitively following the flow of the moment. The blank canvas awakens in me such anxiety and desire to release my intuition and express my feelings. For me, life is art, full of contrasts, and nothing in this universe is static. My approach is an expressionist map of my experiences, curiosity, feelings and explorations. I feel that art is infinite. I am at my best when I can go with the flow by listening to my intuition, evolving and discovering the many languages that give visual voice to moments in my life. My art doesn't have a unique style. I have paintings and digital arts with a modern, abstract and minimalist style. Usually in my art you find a harmonization of colors and movement..

  • How / why did you start with art?
I started painting because I felt a huge need to express my feelings and emotions, and for me, the best way to do that was to get in touch with art.

  • What inspires you?
What inspires me is the possibility of being able to put my feelings and ideas on a blank canvas and be able to compose environments with them.

  • Do you have a message with your art?
I think my art doesn't have a specific purpose or message, because it doesn't focus on just one theme. I think that my attempt for anyone who comes across one of my creations is to get out of their routine a little bit, or to question themselves, that I doubt they even understood the message. Above all, right now I know that I'm in a phase where I like to paint things that are considered beautiful, that influence us in a positive way at least, because sometimes that's all we need. Sometimes we need to be surrounded by beautiful things, and art is amazing for that very reason, because it influences our mood. One of the few things we have some control over is the environment around us, and my effort is to be able to contribute so that this space is well filled.

  • What do you think your art can add to a home?
Elegance and simplicity at the same time
