I was born
in Rio de Janeiro, close to the famous beach of Ipanema. Rio has
given me more sensitivity because it's a very beautiful place,
with a different type of environment: light, sun, beach, good
people, poor people, and I excell in this atmosphere for inspiration.
I nevertheless have memory of different places , having travelled
in many contries for many years, where I saw Art, and now I live
Art.
I used to
sell jewelry, antiques, and furniture, for many years, until my
passion for colors began. This is how my passion for painting
got started.
I studied
Antropology, which is the reason why I use human figures and social
themes in my work. I utilize mainly antique woods, working with
cedar, pine , Riga Pine ( wood from North Europe), peroba , and
other rare woods which were brought during the colonization of
Brazil: I like to work with windows, doors , always using wood,
-sometimes, to bring my different vision about Art, I add a piece
of canvas to them.
I have works
in store: Oficina Brasilis, Rua Visconde de Pirajá 580
lojas 105, 106, 107, Ipanema.
I use many
materials: oil, acrilic, guns, pieces ..of many things. My studio
is in Arpoador, the other famous point in Rio, at Bulhões
de Carvalho Street, 77 apt,.204, Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro, zip
code.22081000. My phone number,. (21) 2513.1244 , or (21) 8715.0261.
"Those
giant masters of the line, Van Gogh, Chaim Soutine, George Rouault,
Kirchner, Egon Schiele, Frida Kahlo,Van Dongen, in strips full
of cheer and ardor bring their lives to a culmination in noble
walls, and many without feeling the value that their couloured
passion possesses. I want to speak to the world and proudlhy live
of the art I exercise despite conventional forms or groupings"
