My artistic journey is a fusion of introspection and exploration, driven by a deep-seated curiosity about the human experience. Drawing inspiration from the intricacies of nature, the complexities of cultural identity, and the nuances of everyday life, my work serves as a visual exploration of the human condition.

Rooted in personal experiences and shaped by diverse influences, my creative process is a continuous dialogue between intuition and intention. Each brushstroke is imbued with meaning, each composition a reflection of the emotions and narratives that resonate within me.

At the heart of my practice lies a commitment to authenticity and vulnerability. Through my art, I seek to provoke thought, evoke emotion, and spark conversation about the universal themes that bind us together as human beings.

My work invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and fragility of existence. It is my hope that by engaging with my art, audiences will find moments of connection, introspection, and reflection, ultimately enriching their own journey through life.

I'm a multidisciplinary artist from Brazil, living in the west of Ireland.

I graduated from the University of Brasilia in Visual Arts in 2018. I work primarily with oil on wooden panels.
