I was born in Brazil but grew up in Portugal. Having changed many countries, cities and houses I carry with me a huge multicultural background. I’ve spent time living in Italy but now I’m based in the UK.
My art helps me to connect the past with the present, sometimes offering a glimpse of what the future may be. Living in a time with such technological importance, I want to be able to physically hold, feel and manually create something that has an inability to be undone.
I’m obsessed with vintage, there’s something about old pictures and rustic colours that influence some of my work. Different textures also fascinate me; it reminds me of the Portuguese tiles and its old architectural buildings.
This is how I found my connection with art. I love the random and natural style of my artwork and the unpredictability of its outcome. It’s a clash of things that don’t go together but suddenly do. I love the freedom of my expression, the possible narrative and the abstract. Abstract work doesn’t give you input to the meaning of the work in any particular direction, that’s why I feel free to express.
Everything I create is about anxiety; the uncertainty of the future. My compositions of random, geometric and textural forms create my own idea of aesthetics.
