About

When I paint I let my feelings guide me while I play with color, letting the energy flow and the painting tell me what it wants to be. In my series of cities the real subject is the people, very loosely represented, but the real creators of the place with their energy and movement. In 2020, while our cities were empty, I stayed at home and went looking through my memories for that feeling of joy, that vibration… What came to me were these precious childhood memories… at the same time, so strong and so faded away. What lasts is exactly what matters to me. That feeling, that energy you feel when you are with someone without the details and diversions our eyes can see. Rio Grande do Sul Brazil
