"Influenced by my native country, Brazil, I like to explore in my work the use of bold colors and textures, as well as movement. Perhaps because of my upbringing nurtured around vibrant wildlife, I have always been strongly influenced by natural elements, its' energy and synchronicity. Having been born and raised in Rio de Janeiro I have always been strongly influenced by natural elements and when living in London I was forced to seek other sources of inspiration. There I found that architecture and man-made artistic creations could also be a strong expression of life as well as wildlife. It was then that I became more interested in human expressions in it’s various forms.
