Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 1979.
Lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil.
Using languages such as drawing, video and sculpture, his work is marked by forms that fluctuate between strangeness and familiarity and results in objects and images that suggest a shuffling exercise of the order of the world. His practice combines chance, temporality, processes of nature and culture with artisanal methods of production.
