Profile
As a visual artist, I explore the pulsating body, fluid identity, and the skin as a form of presence--traversing the hybridity of languages ​​and spatialities--while revealing tensions between spaces, layers, and surfaces through a profound dialogue involving the city, the social sphere, and the human experience. Active in the creative economy, I dedicate myself to curation, artistic practice, and research into non-European art, fostering collective transformation through artistic expression.

Base of Activity: Curitiba, Brazil
Media Used: Printmaking, Acrylic Painting, Hybridity, Photography, Installation

Residence Plan
My artistic perspective emerges from an investigation of semiotics as poetics and spatiality as territory. The dialogue between space, body, and fluidity becomes an integral part of the artwork itself. The proposal entails conducting visual research--capturing the poetics of the local community--and creating works based on hybrid artistic languages ​​and practices, as well as organizing an exhibition (both virtual and in-person) centered on the concepts of city, identity, and diversity.
