Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1981.
Lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil.
His practice of artistic research dates back moments in time that influenced the aesthetics of the world as we perceive it today. The artist builds a collection of facts, found objects, gifts and places where he travelled. Then he re-works these elements through drawing, painting, bronze casting, charcoal strokes, video editing and arranging/re-arranging them in space in order to put these moments or situations in evidence by throwing a new light on them.
