Bio

I was born June, 9th, 1988 in Blumenau, Brazil, a little town in the south. My dad has Italian heritage and my mom and almost her whole family are somehow artists, they have strong artistic veins. I’m second child of three siblings, only girl. My whole family lives in my hometown, I was the only one that moved away. I’ve always had two complete opposite sides: accentuated creative and sharp logic and rational. I loved math and etc but also loved art in all its forms. I was exposed to art my whole life, either, going to architecture/art expositions with my mom and aunts, or through fashion magazines. When I was 17 I moved away and never came back. Actually I am chemical engineer and in the last 17 years, I’ve lived in 10 different places (Brazil: Florianópolis, Macaé, Feira de Santana, Araras, Sao Paulo; Russia: Tyumen; USA: Houston; Switzerland: Orbe; Spain: Barcelona and in the middle of the ocean working as drilling engineer in oil rigs). All driven by work, I was just following the flow. I like to highlight that cause it says a lot about me and my constant urge for change. Also I’ve been seeking the sea all my life and since I moved to Barcelona, I feel that I finally found a place to be. Perhaps that’s what made me reconnect with art and be inspired by life again. Ironically I feel now that my creative side is flourishing, the need for change is calming down. So perhaps the thing I was looking for all my life was already with me the whole time. For me, Art is a way to spurge everything I’m holding in, to make the noise I don’t feel comfortable doing anywhere else. It’s my lifetime passion latent for so long now starting toflourish. It’s been always a silent, discrete and tricky part of me that today I need to let it speak up. I paint mainly with acrylic on top of all kinds of surfaces, textile, paper, craft paper, but I like to test all kinds of materials even unusual ones, like lemon juice or zafron, to check how the paint reacts to it. I like to let the paint flow in the liquids and go where it wants. My work is an interpretation of what we see when closing the eye, it is the movement and the colours in all their forms, it is like a dance of chemistry and it comes from the heart.
