Born in 1971 and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I am the third generation of naïve painters in my family. I have drawn and painted intensively since I was very little but never thought it was a professional possibility, in fact, art was never an encouraged activity by my family. Until I was 38, shy for my childish trait, I used to paint and immediately destroy everything I produced. After a very successful first exhibition in 2008 I decided to leave my corporate job as a marketing manager and dedicate myself to my call/career as painter. Since then I have shown my works in many countries and participated in several relevant places and events. I became a Finnish citizen in 2023 and I am now re-starting my career in Finland, looking forward to leaving a legacy in this country I love and that is now my permanent home.
