I've been spreading poems throughout the city for years. Yes, I understand my art as poems, the art of photography, capturing moments and feelings throughout the city, not only in São Paulo, but throughout Brazil and even abroad. My art came to rescue what was lost within me. Creating a breathing space amidst the chaotic daily life of urban landscapes and connecting with the population through artistic creation are some of the main objectives of my art. Between images, colors, drawings, and interventions, I transform spaces, reinvent objects, and provide the possibility of new thoughts to those who walk through my creations. The idea is to bring more life to the emptiness that accompanies the daily lives of many people and enable moments of affection and encounter through the possibilities of recognition and reflection that art provides. Amidst hectic and rushed routines, urban art, democratic and accessible, engages in dialogue with and questions the surreal world in which it is inserted. I consider myself privileged by my creative work. Art has this role of connecting with the population, and I believe that people enjoy a more colorful life. Often an artist paints and brings to life spaces that take on a new meaning in everyday life.
