Digital, Oil on Canvas and Mix Media

The world is a fountain of inspiration that will never dry. There are so many places to see - Landscapes and seascapes. There are many lives to live and souls to fill up, many people to talk, and faces to touch. There are real feeling and surreal act, and because all of that, there are many stories to tell and many walls to paint, so then many canvas to cry aloud.

I am an Artist from Brazil, born in Recife. I've started drawing real vision of a surreal lives since very young, and I always want to express and portrait social issues beyond cameras lenses and naked eyes.
