São Paulo — Brazil
Visual artist, architect, and designer
A self-taught artist since 1984, with a background in architecture and design, I have maintained a continuous artistic practice for more than four decades, alongside my work in architecture, fashion, and the creation of decorative pieces and objects.
My painting emerges within this interval between what reveals itself and what escapes the eye.
Between the figurative and the abstract, between the intensity of color and the precision of the graphic line, I construct a language made of repetition, layering, and fragments. Images and words emerge as traces of a communication that is not always completed. They are signals cast into space, awaiting interpretation.
In my painting, I seek to give visual form to the many invisible forces that accompany us, transforming into lines, colors, words, and images what our eyes cannot reach but whose presence we can feel.

2016
In 2016, I created Biombos Decor and opened this store at D&D Shopping, one of São Paulo's leading destinations for sophisticated interior design. The project grew from the desire to transform the folding screen into a work of art and design. I brought together works and photographs by renowned artists, along with my own creations, applying them to screens conceived not simply as furniture, but as true sculptures capable of transforming their surroundings.
