ARTIST's STATEMENT:

“I like to work handling colours and creating mysterious atmosphere released by light and dark/shades surrounding the figures mostly inspired from the Brazilian popular folk festivals. I am convinced that the act of painting is a challenge for lasting impression of the work shown. My goal is to celebrate the strong and the richness of Brazilian folk heritage and its cultural diversity”.
