Born in São Paulo, Brazil.

Cats have always been the main theme of my art. I love and admire felines, I have two cats. I started working with black and white graphite and black and white soft pastel and then colored soft pastel. Little by little I introduced other themes such as birds,sometimes people, nature, but always returning to my initial inspiration, which are cats. At the end of 2019 I was extremely touched by the great fires in Australia and the critical situation of the koalas, which made me paint a series dedicated to these iconic and cute animals. I've also made some digital work in Paintbrush which helped me exercise my creativity. I also make polymer clay pendants of cats, birds and other animals. Orders are most welcome. Lately, I have found a neon and metallic colored pencils kit which inspired me to create my latest drawings.

I graduated in Dentistry from Faculdade de Odontologia da USP, São Paulo, Brazil (Dentistry College of Sāo Paulo University).
