BIOGRAPHY
Art and colors enchant me and are forms of expression that I’ve used since childhood, but it was during my undergraduate studies in Arts that I became intimately involved with painting.
Since 1998, I have been developing artistic/poetic work using this technique as main medium. Oil and acrylic are some of the materials I use, always with freedom of languages and styles.
I live in São Francisco Xavier (São Paulo/Brazil), in the heart of Mantiqueira’s Mountains, at an altitude of 1,200 m, in an Environmental Preservation Area. It is a magical place where I put down my roots and which serves as a constant inspiration for allowing me to be in contact with nature and to be able to live in a rural community, still small, but in transformation, and that lives with the contradictions of the consumer and waste society.

STATEMENT
Nature, the symbiosis between the environment and humanity; and the beauty, power, and sensuality intrinsic to femininity are relationships that I seek in my work.
The necessary reflection on being and/or becoming a woman, emotions, processes of knowledge, self-knowledge, reflection, power, sisterhood, affections and love have always been present in the construction of my repertoire, which is a bit like a personal diary, a bit like a manifesto for all of us, women and men, as social beings.
I believe in art and culture as means of expression, but also as a form of questioning, liberation, and social construction, especially when it is possible to do them together and in a way that adds collective values.
