BIOGRAPHY

I am a Brazilian ceramics artist.

My interest in ceramics was awaked​ during my early school years. I remember being very interested and excited about creating pieces with clay during the art classes. I never forgot when I first tried the wheel – I was about 10 years old. I grew up seeing my grandmother producing bronze sculptures in which she used clay as a mold. I believe these moments introduced me to the art world.

As a teen, I had the opportunity to attend a summer ceramics course at UCSD Studio (University of California, San Diego), which made me understand the characteristics of working in a ceramic studio.

Later, I participated in a “Terracota Wood Firing Workshop”, at the Spannochia Farm in Tuscany – Italy with the american ceramist Don Davis. It was an experience that was very beneficial to reveal to me my own creativity. It gave me much confidence to continue my creative work in ceramics.

Years have given me the practice in the ceramics art by attending workshops of known Brazilians ceramists such as Lucia Ramenzoni, Paulo Meireles and Hideko Honma. I continue the endless learning, researching and practicing which I display in my daily work in my studio.

My ceramic practice emerges from a personal philosophy grounded in liberty, spontaneity, and intuitive making. I approach clay as a material that allows freedom of expression, enabling forms to evolve organically through gesture and instinct rather than predetermined structure. For me, the act of working with clay becomes a space where imagination and material respond to one another, allowing forms to develop naturally.

A deep fascination with nature, particularly the fragile and transient beauty of flowers serves as a key source of inspiration. The delicacy of natural forms, their cycles of growth and decay, and their quiet resilience inform the abstract language of my ceramic sculptures and vessels. Rather than reproducing nature literally, I translate its essence into organic volumes, and dynamic spatial relationships.
Through an intuitive dialogue between form, volume, and space, my work explores the possibility of ceramics as living structures. The forms appear to grow, move, or unfold, suggesting a world where imagination and fantasy coexist with material reality. In this sense, the vessels and sculptural forms become animated objects that evoke movement, transformation, and vitality.

My approach is deliberately non-representational. Instead of depicting recognizable figures or concrete realities, I rely on gesture, intuition, and subjective interpretation to create abstract forms that echo natural rhythms and organic structures. I employ a range of traditional ceramic processes including wheel-throwing, slab building, pinching, and coiling. These techniques allow me to construct forms that balance structure and spontaneity. I also experiment with different clay bodies, emphasizing their natural textures, surfaces, and colors, allowing the material itself to play an active role in shaping the final work.

Ultimately, my work seeks to capture the poetic relationship between freedom, nature, and imagination, transforming clay into forms that embody both the fragility and vitality of living systems.
