Bio_

I was born in Rio de Janeiro. I spent a lot of time backstage at theaters and on movie sets, listening to Brazilian music, drawing and painting at home on a semi-daily basis. My mother, a librarian at the Museum of Modern Art of Rio, and my father, a movie and theater producer, awakened my taste for the arts at an early age. That’s how I came to study Industrial Design at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro before moving on to the Istituto d’Árte Lorenzo De’ Médici in Florence and the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. After returning to Brazil I settled in the city of São Paulo, where I have lived ever since. From there, I built a career as a commercial photographer in parallel to my work as a visual artist.

My journey as an artist was born of the passion shared for professors of Art History who crossed my path. Today, in my projects, I try to observe society based on what is close to me, from the ordinary particulars of daily life, almost like a chronicler of myself. Whether it’s the person sleeping by my side, the neighbors I observe from the window, the people stuck with me in traffic or sitting in the same movie theater, the planes that fly over my head, the maternity hospital where my daughter was born, or the environments that surrounds my commercial work. Observing society through the individual causes me to reflect on contemporary themes such as surveillance, privacy, forgetting, polarization and encounters, as well as the social issues that I find troubling.

To all who have come here today, I hope you have a great visit, enjoy and connect with the art that has been with me throughout the course of my life. Warm regards!
