About

I am an architect, artist, photographer, wife and mother. The reality that surrounds me, I cannot ignore. My Brazilian roots and culture, I cannot deny. My naive hopeful heart, I cannot avoid. The struggles inside me, I cannot silence them. The path taken, stories heard, sadness seen, I cannot be insensitive to. After ten years pursuing a career in Architecture, an unexpected shift immersed me in the art field. There I identified an opportunity to express my ambiguous and still under construction perception of the world. Architecture brought the knowledge that influences all that I create. My perception of the urban and built environment, the ways humanity appropriates and inhabits space, the essence of materials, its attributes and qualities, the relational system of formality and how form is identified and perceived by human senses; these were aspects of an architectural background that I naturally bring into my artwork.
