Originally from Brazil but have been in UK since 1991 studying, travelling up and down the globe and indulging in art and culture. In Brazil. Later in London I attended a BA in Theatre Designer at Central Saint Martins and completed a MA in Fine Arts at The Slade School of Art in 1999. I have worked as a set and costume designer in Film, Theatre, Opera and Dance productions in the past. Now I am dedicated to paint only.
The main source for inspiration in my work comes from nature and its events. Discovering and exploring similarities between different objects, their qualities, significant value and relevance is a great motivation to me. These aspects produce vital elements connected by me which progress into final work. A system of work developed during my training as a theatre designer where one is reinvented by the quality of another.
I mostly create visual metaphor and analogy to represent my chosen subjects in a manner which affirms, confuses or replaces the original. It ranges from personal interpretations to one which has cultural references or familiarity.
My work gives me the possibility of expressing my views and offers an insight into the deep structure of my thoughts in relation to the natural world around me.
