About
About & Practice
My practice investigates the instability of the image and, through it, the instability of perception.
Every work of mine begins with observed situations, objects, bodies, and spaces. I subject them to processes of reduction, transfer, erasure, layering, and material transformation, so the image loses information, is interrupted, or depends on a particular action to continue existing. I am interested in the moment when something remains accessible only partially, as a trace or sensation.
Domestic spaces, landscapes, thresholds, bodies, and botanical forms are recurring territories in my work. Through them, I explore how distance, light, the passage of time, material, and subject presence alter what an image can contain. I may use materials that do not guarantee clarity or permanence, allowing deterioration and transformation to become part of the work itself.
Biography
I am a French-Brazilian visual artist based in Lisbon. My work spans painting, photography, textiles, artist’s books, and performance.
Before dedicating myself fully to visual art, I worked in journalism, research, and technology. I have lived in Brazil, France, Switzerland, Austria, the United States, and Portugal, and my practice has developed across different cultural and linguistic contexts.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a curator, mentor, and organiser of exhibitions and public programmes. These activities inform my understanding of how artworks are produced, presented, and encountered, while remaining distinct from my own studio practice.
