inspired by freedom and poetry, I am curious and passionate.
I have been working as an artist since 2012, researching, in practice, other ways to connect. I transform stories into art and connection expressions, inventing ways to tell things beyond the spoken word, on different platforms and techniques, such as scenography, stationery, illustration, calligraphy, tattoo, poetry, events, murals, skins, clothes and experiences.
I work with organizations, companies, agencies, freelancers and individuals.
I studied social communication and fashion, with a focus on manual arts and a postgraduate degree in peace studies. in everything I do, i intend to include freedom, poetry, flourishment, rebellion, affection, desire and movement.
I have already produced scenography for Google, Johnson&Johnson and Novartis. I created creative gifts for Bunge, invented a planner and made it happen with crowdfunding in 2015. I developed an interactive experience, I exhibited my work "Descoberta" in Lisbon and São Paulo, I wrote the books "travel gifts are people", and "touching the sky tastes like ground", I invented experiences in the scenography of Gustavo's wedding with Isabella, and also of Amuri with Gabi.
I painted walls, I did live paintings in São Paulo, Madrid and Barcelona, I wrote on bodies, invented carnival costumes, reinvented clothes. I came up with a connection game with Carolina Nalon.
I invented gifts that were experiences. I also went to do a permaculture internship in the wilderness of Bahia. I illustrated the study from the book "the world could
be diferent", at the online community 'O Lugar. I am one of the founders of O Amor Agradece, which distributes warm meals and connects family farming and community kitchens in SP. I also support Inochi Brazil, which works for the reforestation of the Amazon together with the Puyanawa people, in Acre, and Aliança Reflorestar.
I invented poetic experiments with stationery. I am a student of ecophilosopher Joanna Macy, and in community, we study the work that reconnects. Nowadays, I'm working on the final project of my postdegree about how playful process can enhance the power of agency.
between embers and breeze, I'm part artist, part adventurer
hermit witch child who loves people and animals, poetry
and forest. I'm moved by doing it together and also by silence.
in my work, I seek for heart mind soul politic poetic and social grounding and flourishment,
I talk about the invisible.
I like to make it touchable.
That's how I celebrate the concrete magic of life.
I believe in Art and collective imagination as a political tool, being also nourishment to build more inclusive, compassionate and decentralized worlds.
Lately, I've been trying to include pleasure, joy and rest. and it has been an immense exercise for a busy mind.
I was a farm child, and I grew up mixing myself with the red earth in the interior of Paraná. My doll's house was a bush, my pet was a goat and my dream was to learn to read, so i could experience the outside world, in my own terms.
I wasn't the child who drew. but creativity was a spark. it was, in fact, a mix of discipline, training and time to make mistakes (which is a super privilege in this society) that made me an artist over the last 15 years.
I graduated in Fashion Design from the Istituto Europeo di Design in 2008. as i was working at the extinct Lita Mortari, where the windows were handmade scenography, that handycrafted arts began to call me. I went to live in Berlin, and also attended the University of Arts in London.
I didn't think I was an artist
and it was a big process to get here!
I thought i wasn't an artist because I didn't "know" how to draw.
until a broken heart opened me up and made me write what I felt.
so then i dived in myself into lettering and calligraphy.
From then on, I worked creating events, weddings and also inventing unique and special gifts. All human material counted. I listened to personal stories, fished for details and dived while tying
the inside in the outside.
the tattoo came a little later, exploring new supports and techniques. Memories, reminders, wisdom. skin is memory, and some ask to be visible.
And so I discovered that I could see
the invisible.
The exhibition of the "Descoberta" was in Lisbon and São Paulo. The performance was about writing on naked bodies and printed on fabric. It was a performance done with other women, using the skin as a memory to talk about abuse, forming a collective skin and using invisible language as a present body.
The personal experience of abuse brought me closer to other causes and made me understand our social structure a little better. With the pandemic and a long depression, I got involved in several social actions, met Joanna Macy's work and fell in love by the community movement.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to researching how we can support life to flourish. I study agroecology, community building and imagination as a political tool.

I am the founder of the organization O Amor Agradece and I support the team at Inochi Brazil, founded by Zen master Kaz Sensei Tanahashi and Mayumi Oda. So, I also got closer to Tibetan Buddhism and I am a practitioner, a student
by Lama Tsering and Lama Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel.
my postgraduate degree is in "Conflict Transformation and Peace Studies", from Instituto Paz e Mente, in partnership with UNESCO, and I research "how the playful process, as a practice, can support us in the development of openness, flowering of creativity and agency"
I therefore seek ways to reforest our hearts and minds, rediscovering other meanings, using art and imagination as a tool for individual and collective, poetic and political flourishing.
I write, illustrate, tattoo and develop playful processes that open
It creative spaces to build other realities.
