5 – What materials do you use in your works?

Currently ink acrylic on canvas or panel.

6 – What is your creative process itself? What inspires you?

My creative process usually happens primarily through an invisible reality, that is, must first be something that motivates me, causing me emotions, reflections, inquiries, charm or even indignation; everything happens in the mental and emotional plane, to then be turned into a visible and material reality, through drawings, texts, reflections and finally painting. My inspiration comes from my own reality, result of life experiences, self-knowledge, from the daily life, from music, the nature and the simple things in life.

7 – When you started effectively to produce or create your works?

I started in 1998, although, from 2005 I decided to dedicate myself full time Education through Art. In 2017 I decided to resume painting in a professional manner.

8 – Art is an intellectual production exquisite, where emotions are embedded in the context of creation, but in art history, we see that many artists are derived from other, following technical and artistic movements through time, you own any model or influence of any artist? Who would be?

I can not say objectively that had a single model or influence of a specific artist, but I have a huge affinity thoughts that are present in the book Spiritual in Art Artist Wassily Kandinsky.

9 – What does art mean to you? If you were to summarize in a few words the meaning of Arts in your life…

Art is a way that I found to communicate and interact with people and the world on issues of life and through images.

10 – What techniques do you use to express their ideas, feelings and perceptions about the world? (Whether it is through painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, photography… or uses several techniques in order to make a mix of different art forms).

Currently through painting.

11 – Every artist has his mentor, that person who you have mirrored, you encouraged and inspired you to follow this career, going ahead and taking your dreams the other expression levels, who this person is and how it introduced you in the art world?

I can not say I had a specific mentor, I think that every person who crossed my life, others passed and remained somehow contributed or contribute to my development in the Arts.

12 – You have another activity beyond art? You teaches classes, lectures etc.?

Currently I divide my time between arts classes for students of the 2nd and 3rd years of primary I, the production of video lessons for my Youtube Channel and finally my dream, the production and development of my paintings.

13 - She has participated in national and international exhibitions?

I'm currently in the process of disseminating through social and online media such as Facebook, Instagram, Artluv, Etsy, Pinterest, Youtube. And in June I will be attending my first show in SIM Cultural Center.

14 – Your plans for the future?

Go in search of partners and sponsors, so that we can participate in more national and international exhibitions that I am invited. And no doubt many themed paint and develop and constantly improve my visual identity.

15 – In your opinion what is the future of Brazilian art and its artists? (in the general context) and why so many artists are giving preference to show their work in international exhibitions despite high costs?

The future of Brazilian art and artists to date still largely depends on the efforts of each one and the good will and support of some friends and family, because to participate in some art exhibitions the cost is high especially for those starting this, the preference for international exhibitions come from the belief that out there to have more visibility or financial return, but each artist has their reason.

I think with our nation's awakening, with the rescue and recovery of our identity and self-esteem, with financial support to new artists, and the massive investment in education, the teachers and especially in education through the arts in schools and encompassing 4 worlds of the arts as: Visual Arts, Music, Theater and Dance, we are training people who value culturally and consume the Arts.

Thus, the artist felt secure in investing in exhibitions within the country, You will be sure visibility and financial return.
