Description
About me
22-year-old independent artist, living in São Paulo, Brazil.
Heavy Heart.
Dukkha.
I try to work on feelings of loneliness, emptiness, anguish, time and death through human figures, animals and landscapes depicting empty places. I believe that suffering is the only truth and I try to express this in my art, sometimes in a soft way, sometimes in a heavy way.
Work / Education
I work with oils, charcoal, graphite, pastels and rarely acrylics and gouaches (on canvas or wooden panels). I usually produce small pieces (up to 50x60 size). My greatest inspirations, which, therefore, influence my work, are expressionism, the grotesque, disrupted realism, contemporary and Viennese actionism.
Solo exhibitions held: 2015 and 2020 at Centro Cultural da Penha, São Paulo SP.
Self learned painter.
Originals and prints available.
