ABOUT ME
I'm from São Paulo, currently living in Vila Madalena, having spent much of my childhood in the countryside, barefoot and climbing trees. I've loved drawing and painting since I was a child, and nature has always been my main inspiration.
My academic background was not related to the arts, which is why it took me so long to recognize myself as an artist. This artistic vein, however, has always pulsed within me, as something inherited from previous generations and cultivated by me as a private, almost secret craft. A personal refuge that I have now decided to share.
My work is characterized by vibrant colors and organic forms inspired by nature, especially flowers, leaves, and the sea. I work in different media, with special affection for canvas paintings, watercolors, and children's illustrations encouraged by my daughters, Isabel and Joana.
