About the Artist

My artistic research and work engage extensively with collective memory and its erasure in society.

The works are often based on the interpretation of specific events in relation to the city, architecture and historical representation in relation to the present, searching for new meanings to forgotten aspects of a conflictive lexicon in whose internal movement the writing of history is disputed.

My interest is to create installations and multimedia works that emerge from a deep research into cultural dynamics, that takes Brazilian architecture and its practitioners as central figures of my research.

Important architectonic icons like Casa França Brasil, The Gustavo Capanema Palace also known architecturally as the Ministry of Education and Health Building or the figures as Athos Bulcão, Lina Bo Bardi, and Lota de Macedo Soares or Carmen Miranda are many times the starting point to develop my research.
