About My Art

I paint to understand the world around me and to free myself from what has hurt me. Along the way, I often discover that others share the same feelings and experiences—and so I choose to incorporate their experiences into my artworks as well.

When it comes to the animals, I intend to have them free from people while showing just how unique and beautiful they are.

I use whatever I feel will work best: painting, sculpture, video, collage—anything. I choose the medium based on the message, no matter how crazy it is. I love experimenting with new media, and I love texture—something you can feel, something that’s hidden, something that jumps off the canvas.

Bio

I was born in Brazil and have called Denmark my home since 1992. I graduated from the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios in São Paulo and have a background in communications, marketing, and economics, with many years of experience in marketing and visual identity.

Since 2020, I have devoted myself entirely to art. I work with oil paint, acrylics, pencil, watercolor, and alcohol ink, and I’m constantly exploring new materials and techniques to express my stories and emotions.

My artworks been exhibited both in Denmark and internationally and are part of private and corporate collections around the world.
