STATEMENT
I am a Brazilian artist born and raised in Bahia, my first paradise. Currently, I live near São Paulo, in a region immersed in the Atlantic Forest, the scenery of most of my inspiration.
I try to express Life, the pulsar, the vitality of colors and shapes, the ecstasy that snatches us and makes us shine. I paint nature to transmit the Life that is in everything.
