Where the “architect” meets the “artist”

I am a joyful Brazilian artist based with my family in Hamilton. We decided to come here to start life again, searching for a balance between work and life and of course a safer place to raise our children with freedom.

Giving up a whole life in Sao Paulo and arriving in New Zealand with just a few suitcases and the desire to start from scratch allowed me to start drawing and painting again after a long hibernation. Now my artwork has evolved to a mature point where I can express my emotions with energy.

I have been painting and drawing since seven years old . In 2023 I completed 30 years of the start of classical drawing training at the Lyceum of Arts and Crafts of Sao Paulo. Later on I studied Architecture and Urban Design and even taught watercolour at the University to fellow students. Slowly life got me busier and I had left sketching only during holidays. My creativity and design thinking skills was redirected to designing interiors, buildings or even urban master plans. 

Besides my artwork, I am an architect and urban designer , and I design spaces that I consider a contribution to the enhancement of people’s livelihood and the development of the country that has received my family.
