Abstract oil painter.

I'm a Brazilian-American artist based in New York, creating fluid, dynamic abstract works that explore the ever-shifting nature of form and perception. I mostly work with oil paint on canvas and wood panels.

In my abstract compositions, I play with shapes and color interactions to evoke continuous movement through forms that merge, morph, and dissolve without a clear beginning or end. Each piece invites a new contemplative experience, shaped by a meticulous process of blending oil pigments as they dry.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Communications and have completed art programs at Parsons Paris and the Art Students League of New York. Alongside my art practice, I work in experience and innovation strategy.
