My
goal in my artistic career is to be engaged in a dialogue that translates
life’s ordinary concerns in to art.
The theme of my works span from a socio-political-economic point of view,
passes through a contemplative, sparsely composed imagery, and end up
with an infusion of a lively pallet of solid, vibrant, primary
colors, reminiscent of my native upbringing in the lush, tropical, Brazil.
