I’m an artist and illustrator, my drawings are born from a place shaped by curiosity, imagination and generosity. I work primarily with analog drawing.

• I create artwork for book covers, posters, postcards, fanzines, poetry, articles, magazines, stickers, and other projects.
• **Place is my Notion ecosystem where** I gather personal creative practices, drawings, collections, a Herbarium, a drawing-essay, animations experiments, comics and ideias for new projects. This Place is organic and experimental, it’s alive and changes through imagination. It’s an expression of my art and all my subscribers can visit it.
• Last year I created “12 practices to see” in a Notion page (it’s available at Place) and this January I publish the one page zine “12 practices to see” inspire by them (you can grab it here).

This practices are the core of my Art project for this year - We Breath Together, a Home-Based Residency - where I’m inventing and experiment with comics, zines, drawings, collage and animations Stop-motion.

The Quiet Place is my drawing table, my creative corner inside my room in a 5th floor with a view to a valley. Sometimes this Quiet Place is also outside in the valley and surroundings. This is a beginning for me and I’m inviting you to come along - every months I will send you my drawings 🎨🐦‍⬛📮🌳 and bring you to my practices. If you know me, you know that my conversations are quiet and always born from images, this is a space where you can support me and where I hope to support you with my art.

I create unique drawings that expand your project in a beautiful and meaningful way.

My drawings are inspired by the community of beings that live alongside me, by seasonal rhythms, my readings, by gestures of daily life, metamorphoses and morphologies, collections, wanderings, and experiences.

My drawings emerge in varied styles because they express the different materials I enjoy working with, black and white, colours, in the ongoing exploration of light and shadow, textures, and a fascination with intricacies and detail.

For those who engage with them, I hope they evoke presence, community, beauty, and a creative space to breathe and to be.
