Biography
I was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a city surrounded by mountains. I started my career in 2004 and my recurring topics in art and research are: Memory, time and its relation to the imagery. Memory and its potency on remembering, forgetting and inventing is very interesting conceptually for my artistic practice. I also think a lot about time in contemporaneity and how the present time is mixed with past remembrances and future intentions.
I work mainly with photography, installation, collected objects and video, but I’m very open to all techniques and medias, specially when some friends come into de projects and bring their special talents in music, dancing, performing, and other artistic practices. For me, art is an wide and open field and I like to see how other people affect and modify the experience of doing art and the work of art itself. I’m interested in this interaction in educational sphere and artistic collective practice.
In my trajectory, I have been in other countries and this taught me a lot about my own origins and cultural heritage. In 2011, I moved to Austria and this was a real challenge in my life. There, I could develop some artistic projects in photography that brought me into a new vision of the world and human condition. I completed a master course at the Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria, and attended some courses at the philosophy department at Karl Franzens Universität Graz, Austria, and at the Internationale Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst Salzburg, Austria.
Between 2015 and 2019, I developed my artistic and research works as part of the PhD on Contemporary Art at Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal. It was a great pleasure for me to develop my projects there in cooperation with amazing artists related to the University. In Portugal I was surprised by a prize with the artwork “Arquivo Zero”, an sculptural installation, at the XIX Bienal International de Arte de Cerveira (PT), this was a begging of a great partnership with Cerveira’s artistic scene.
Nowadays I work and live in Belo Horizonte and I’m glad to be back home, developing my projects on my studio and darkroom. Send me a message!
