visual artist, art director and photographer

1992: Belo Horizonte 🇧🇷
I am a visual artist who delves into digital photography as my primary language, yet I find freedom in experimenting with various media and supports.
My artistic themes often revolve around the body, and recently, I've been exploring its relationships with concepts like morality, desire, and guilt. My active production includes portraits, photo performances, and urban documentation. Beyond these, I hold a deep interest in contemporary art, architecture, semiotics, cultural studies, and psychoanalysis.
My background includes nine years of studying music and six years of classical piano. I have a passion for singing, although I admit my skills may not be exceptional. Occasionally, I engage in sewing and excel in manual tasks. I create imperfect drawings and write about personal experiences and pains.
Currently
Heading Estúdio Ventana since 2016, I work as Art Director and Photographer in Belo Horizonte 🇧🇷
My studio's activities encompass, further than the development of visual narratives in photography and video, the conception of brand universes and visual identity systems. Beyond creative assignments, I have experience in executive production, customer service, and financial management.​​​​​​​
