I am a Brazilian artist and researcher who lives and works in South Africa. I studied at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil, completing my undergraduate degree in visual arts and a subsequent specialisation in contemporary art.
My primary body of work centres on Möbius (2012–2022), a ten-year project that explores how we can interact with a landscape without disrupting it. I use long pieces of fabric and the natural environment to create a visual tension between the body and the space. The project started in 2012 during my travels through the Peruvian Andes and the coastal desert of Paracas, which led to an artistic residency at Centro Selva in the Amazon. Rather than imposing a permanent object onto a site, my work functions as a physical response to local elements like the wind, trees, and stone. The ephemeral result is captured and presented as video and photos. Möbius moved across different topographies over a decade, crossing borders from South America through Europe, Asia and South Africa, where I found environmental parallels to my native Brazil. The video documentation of this ten-year process was selected for presentation by GEAP Latinoamerica Art Seminar in Havana, Cuba.
Outside of this long-term project, I have a history of public interventions and curatorial projects. I also work with the Pparalelo Art Group to create site-specific public works in cities such as Venice, Santiago, and Asunción. I have also curated exhibitions across Brazil and Peru, including “Eterno e Transitório” and “Por estos charcos”. My work is held in institutional collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACC) in Campinas, and I was awarded the FICC prize in Brazil.
Educational Background
Master of Arts (M.A.) Art and Design, UNICAMP, Brazil (2012)
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Fine Arts and Education, UNICAMP, Brazil (2009)
After completing a BFA at Art Institute -UNICAMP(Brazil) and pursuing an MA specialising in Art and Fashion, I’ve dedicated years to my research to go more in-depth on the creative process. To achieve this experience, I have developed and delivered educational programs in Contemporary Art, Graphic Design and Fashion that help to comprehend the creative process in different media and purposes. Over the following years, education would become an essential part of my career, teaching Art History and Creative Process to university students, college/high school students, and NGOs for kids and seniors.
