My creativity thrives through a vibrant tapestry of experiences that have shaped my artistic journey. From the earliest days of my life in Brazil, I’ve been enchanted by the kaleidoscope of sights and sounds that surrounded me, infusing my soul with an enduring inspiration. This profound connection to my homeland laid the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of creative expression. As I pursued a degree in Graphic Design during my college years, my passion for visual storytelling intensified, and my fascination with capturing moments led me to the realm of photography.

Embarking on journeys to over 30 countries worldwide, I’ve been fortunate to absorb the diverse cultures and artistic landscapes that enrich my perspective. Exploring local museums and art galleries has become an invigorating ritual, fueling my desire to translate thoughts and emotions into artistic forms.

My thirst for ideas leads me on explorations through Pinterest’s virtual troves, unearthing new concepts and sparking fresh insights. Recently, I’ve taken an exhilarating step forward by joining an art residency program, immersing myself in a community of established artists from across the country. The exchange of ideas and feedback has invigorated my creativity, propelling me to weave a tapestry of innovation and passion into every stroke of my artistic endeavors.

The path of Graphic Design, initially embarked upon in college, became a stepping stone that led me to explore the captivating realm of photography. This journey seamlessly fused my visual storytelling skills with a newfound passion for capturing the intricate nuances of life’s moments. However, the isolation and introspection brought on by the pandemic ignited a transformative shift in my creative endeavors. Driven by a profound appreciation for beauty, I delved into the enchanting world of mixed media art, particularly drawn to the expressive possibilities of assemblages and encaustic art techniques. These mediums allowed me to channel my emotions and perceptions into tangible forms, creating intricate and thought-provoking pieces that resonated with the essence of our shared human experience.
