My Art
My paintings are almost cultural documents of the world around me—capturing the raw beauty, the movement, and the energy of my surroundings. I believe reality is already stunning, and my work seeks to extract and amplify its best elements. Through bold colors, expressive brushstrokes, and a mix of abstraction and form, I bring to life the essence of places and moments, preserving them in a way that feels both timeless and alive.

RIO DE JANEIRO

Rio de Janeiro is my birthplace, a city where the ocean, mountains, and urban life intertwine effortlessly. Raised by the beach, I carry the rhythm of the waves and the golden hues of the sun in my paintings. My work reflects the vibrancy, movement, and raw beauty of Rio—its endless summer, its music, its people. Through bold colors and expressive strokes, I bring to life the essence of a city that is both untamed and deeply poetic, a place that continues to inspire me.

MATTE MAN AND BISCOITO GLOBO

The Warriors of the Sand
On the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, men walk tirelessly across the soft sand, carrying heavy barrels of iced Matte Leão and bags of Biscoito Globo. More than just street vendors, they are part of the city’s cultural identity, keeping a tradition alive under the scorching sun. The refreshing mate with lemon and the light, crispy biscoito are an iconic duo, a taste of Rio itself.

LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles is a city of cars and urban scenery, and my painting series captures this vibrant and ever-changing landscape. I use bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes to create images that are both visually stunning and emotionally evocative. My paintings celebrate the energy and diversity of Los Angeles, and they offer a unique perspective on this iconic city.
