About

I am a visual artist with a degree in Graphic Design from Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo. My practice moves between painting, sculpture, illustration, and the use of reclaimed materials, exploring narratives that connect memory, time, impermanence, and social critique.

My work investigates questions related to consumption, belonging, and the impacts of contemporary structures on everyday life and the environment. Through found objects, used books, and discarded materials, I seek to create new layers of meaning, transforming what has been forgotten into spaces for reflection and inquiry.

Throughout my career, I have participated in solo and group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, as well as editorial projects and international publications. In parallel, I develop corporate projects and collaborations for brands and institutions such as Siemens, Salvatore Ferragamo, and the The Town festival, among others, creating works that engage with art, identity, and experience.
