For me, art is like the air I breathe. I see in it transformation, and the opportunity to create beauty and move people.

As far back as I can remember, I have been drawing. It has always been this way. As if my way of seeing the world flows directly through my fingertips.
 

I am an artist, and I was born to recreate the world around me.

When I was about eight years old, my mother — noticing my hyperactivity — enrolled me in porcelain painting classes, a surface very similar to tile. There, on the balcony of an apartment in Copacabana, surrounded by plants and birds, I would find calm. In silence, I painted for hours on end, immersed in colors and shapes. It was in that space that I discovered the transformative power of art and how it could become a refuge.
 

My passion for painting began early, and I knew that one day I wanted to create a tile panel, like the great masters. It was a dream. But the journey to get here was full of curves and discoveries.
 

I have always been deeply influenced by the work of the great masters. Joan Miró, with his freedom of form and vibrant colors, revealed to me a playful and poetic universe, where art unfolds as a game of symbols and boundless imagination.

Giorgio Morandi, on the other hand, taught me the value of profound simplicity — austere, almost like a visual prayer. His restrained palette and silent still lifes have always moved me like music without sound.
 

Another master who left me spellbound was Rembrandt. The light in his paintings was not merely technical; it was a dive into the human soul. His use of chiaroscuro did more than reveal forms — it told stories of unparalleled depth. And so many others, each encounter leaving indelible impressions on my memory.
 

A contemporary artist who marked a true turning point in my journey was Joseph Beuys. His installations and performances, rich in meaning, opened my eyes to a new way of understanding art. His famous phrase, “Make your secrets productive,” was transformative for me. It helped me realize that the greatest value lay in the most hidden corners of my soul — in what seemed invisible, yet contained an entire universe.
