Born into a Brazilian-Italian, cosmopolitan-bohemian family of artists and travelers, I grew up constantly on the move.

As my parents’ work often required us to travel, whenever we had the chance to see relatives in Rio de Janeiro, I enjoyed particularly visiting my uncle and cousins. All painters.
Watching my uncle paint one of his many colorful, hyperplastic sceneries, and learning that we can create absolutely anything with just a pen and paper, sparked a passion for storytelling in me. That, and a bit of cousinly competition over who could draw the messiest portraits.

In my teenage years, moving through Switzerland, Colombia, Belgium, and Germany for my studies, I had the chance to witness different cultures, meeting incredible people and making lifelong friends, while also eventually struggling with language barriers. My greatest comfort however, was seeing how visual art transcended words, like a universal language that everyone could understand.

When I moved to Japan at 19, my passion for photography took root. I was drawn to the country’s focus on beauty in every detail, and was deeply inspired by the wild, expressive work of the 1960s ‘Provoke’ photographers, who believed that "one can capture what cannot be expressed in words."

I later graduated in Art at Temple University Japan in 2014, specializing in Photography and Filmmaking, and MBA at Globis University in 2017.
Today, I continue to explore photography in my spare time, collaborating with friends and artists, and occasionally curating exhibitions in Tokyo, showcasing a variety of creative talents.
