Used his math and chemistry books in high school as sketchbooks (that used to drive his mom and dad crazy) drawing comics characters out of boredom to pass the time during those classes which felt like an eternity. Learned how to make graffiti stencils in art classes at school in the 80’s and displayed some of his art in the streets of his beloved hometown of São Paulo. Starts drawing more seriously by 2001, mainly with pastels on paper. In 2022 he starts making digital art, creating a wide range of artworks from abstract and geometric pieces to Pop Art and botanic art. Loves grafitti, photography, tattoos, gastronomy and good books and films. Influenced by German Neo-Expressionism, Jean-Michel Basquiat´s work, Charles Bukowski´s, Albert Camus and Jack Kerouac´s books (among other good writers) and indie rock in general.
