about_

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil (1982). Enrolled in Architecture and Urbanism at FAAP (São Paulo, Brazil) in 2002 and was awarded the first place in a group competition representing the university for the 6th International School Competition of the 6th. International Architecture Biennial at São Paulo in 2005.
 
Then, I moved to Brisbane, Australia to deepen my knowledge on such fields of Photography and Architecture at Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia) in 2006. Having graduated in 2008 at FAAP, I worked with architecture until 2015, having worked among the biggest architectural companies in the world and some really nice smaller places as well.

In the pursuit of my passion for art I then decided to make it my main activity since 2016. When i moved from Sao Paulo to Lisbon.

In my work, the relations between the human being and the space in which they inhabit are constantly represented by visual and non-visual structures often imposed by society, culture, politics and the individual behaviour. 

It's always about an image of an imaginary space created by ourselves

Art is what that image represent to each of us.
