ART FOR ME is Time, Rhythm, Tone & Space, just like its beloved
cousin Music and when they realized that:


"AN IMAGE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS"

This demonstrates that the Figure carries an absolute synthesis and
less than a Simplifying Entropy, it is much more the Sublimation of a
Thought by the Artist's Will.

This, in turn, brings to the world of Visual Arts his works based on

 ideas not always or only Emotional, since a finished canvas is an
intellectual work and, as such, does not admit misunderstandings:

ART REQUIRES PRESENCE 

It is up to the admirer to appreciate it in unique, singular,
non-transferable personal depths, if we observe correctly, true
privileges of Existence.

For this reason, the Artist's Vision often touches deep in the soul
of the one who contemplates it in the same waythat a musician
plays his instrument with mastery, dedication, interest and love.

By doing so, you yourself become -somewhat- an Artist with
yourself once you contemplate Art with your Intelligence,
Feelings, Sensations, Presence, Visions & Insights, well before
Emotions.

I offer what I know and what I love the most.
But only you know what's good.

I TRUST YOU.









PS:

For over four decades, I have dedicated my artistic journey to capturing the essence of portraiture, with a particular devotion to the mysterious world of cats. My work is rooted in the belief that, like music, painting is a dance of time, rhythm, tone, and space—yet an image can speak volumes in a single glance.



Each of my feline portraits is meticulously crafted, blending realism with expressive flair. I focus on the eyes—the windows to the soul—using vibrant blues, greens, and yellows to create a magnetic focal point that draws the viewer in. The intricate rendering of fur, the play of light and shadow, and the bold use of color all serve to heighten the emotional impact of each piece.



My approach is both technical and intuitive. I strive to balance precision with spontaneity, allowing the unique personality of each subject to emerge. Whether it’s the hypnotic allure of a dark green or blue-eyed gaze or the subtle tension in a poised whisker, my goal is to evoke curiosity, admiration, and a sense of connection.



Based in Londrina, Brazil, I continue to explore the endless possibilities of portraiture, inviting Portrait art lovers and animal enthusiasts alike to experience the world through the eyes of my subjects.

 In every painting, I seek to honor the timeless bond between artist, animal, and viewer.

Recent Researches

I have experimented with acquisitions of my works around the world (with emphasis on the U.S.A.) but my deliveries in terms of works made do not follow any market rules, nor curatorship, but rather, I navigate by intuition and tireless desire for beauty, whatever that means to you.

A CAT NAMED POLLARIS “A CAT NAMED POLLARIS”

I have invested hundreds and hundreds of hours in the deep universe of the Felines, animals that are really superior not only for their complete autonomy or not even for occupying the top of the food chain, whether like tigers, jaguars, leopards, lions, lynxes or domestic cats but also because they present themselves with incredible face-to-face nobility, enchanting us humans with their graces, lightness and skills to always leave us fascinated...
In the realm of art, few subjects capture our hearts quite like the enigmatic feline.

The image before us is a stunning portrayal of a cat, its striking shine eyes drawing us in with an almost hypnotic allure. This artwork not only showcases the beauty of the animal but also invites us to explore the deeper connections we share with our pets.

Cats have long been symbols of mystery and independence. Their eyes, often described as windows to their souls, can convey a range of emotions—from curiosity to mischief. In this piece, the vibrant blue of the cat's eyes contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of its fur, creating a captivating focal point. This contrast not only highlights the cat's features but also evokes a sense of wonder, prompting viewers to ponder what thoughts lie behind those mesmerizing eyes.

Artists often find inspiration in the world around them, and animals are a rich source of creativity. The intricate details in the fur and the delicate play of light and shadow demonstrate a keen observation of nature. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of looking closely at our surroundings. Every whisker, every glint in the eye tells a story, and as artists, we have the power to capture and share these narratives.

For many, pets are more than just animals; they are companions, confidants, and sources of joy. This artwork encapsulates that bond, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationships with their pets. The soft pink of the cat's nose adds a touch of warmth, suggesting affection and playfulness. It’s a reminder that art can evoke emotions and memories, bridging the gap between the observer and the subject.

Whether you’re an artist or an admirer of art, let this piece inspire you to explore your own creativity. Consider how you can capture the essence of your own pets or the animals that inspire you. Experiment with colors, textures, and styles to create something uniquely yours.

In a world that often feels chaotic, art has the power to ground us, to connect us with our emotions, and to remind us of the beauty that exists in the simplest of moments. So, take a moment to appreciate the artistry in this feline portrait, and let it inspire you to create your own masterpiece.

LADY GAGA PORTRAIT “LADY GAGA PORTRAIT”

I really love e enjoy good music, almost all the time.

For some time I would like to bring together a essay named "Jazz Divas", such as Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce Knowles, Billie Holiday, Diana Krall, Nina Simone, Norah Jones, Julie London, Madeleine Peiroux, Ella Fitzgerald...

... and of course, the splendid musician, creator, dancer, singer, actress, producer, entrepeneur and exuberant LADY GAGA, taking part of this essay that I just started, for an individual exhibition of mine in 2021.

I really like the "newCLASSIC" style of painting, an evolution of Pop Art, which rescues the Great Classic Masters of the Past with an updated glimpse into a world that has already been digitalized and lacks new approaches in the Arts.

TOUCAN BIRD “TOUCAN BIRD”

In addition to designating indigenous groups whose languages belong to the "Tukano" linguistic family, it also names this splendid giant bird from the fruit trees of the Brazilian Forests.

Normally seen in humid forests inhabitats of South America but also in densely urbanized areas, the Toucans ("Tukano") are part of an extensive family of modern birds, with more than 40 species and for me, it is a perfect symbol of Southern Tropicality.

CATTLEYA ORCHID “CATTLEYA ORCHID”

Of all the existing flowers, Orchids are by far the ones I like best and I have some species that I grow at home.

Commonly known as "CATTLEYAS" is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial or rarely leafless saprophytic herbs usually with pseudobulbs and are well known in horticulture and many cultivars have been developed.
