Self-taught artist. She grew up in a mountainous, volcanic region in the interior of Brazil. His approach to art derives from this setting of nature, movement and textures. She has a particular interest in the mineral universe. Clay, in its pure state, is his primary material for creating colors, textures and expressions that materialize in sculptural works. She began his career in 2018 as a mixed media artist, in dialogue with the simplicity of shapes, colors and textures.
