Coming from a family of Brazilian-Italian, cosmopolitan-bohemian, artists-travelers, I was born and grew up abroad.

My parents’ work required us to travel all the time, but whenever we had the chance to visit relatives in Rio, I enjoyed spending nice, creative times with my grand parents, uncles, aunts and cousins, almost all painters.
Seeing my uncle painting his photo-realistic sceneries and portraits sparked in me a passion for image storytelling.

We then moved to Switzerland, Colombia, Belgium, and Germany, encountering different cultures, people, lifelong friends. I eventually struggled with language barriers, but my greatest comfort was seeing how visual art transcended words. A language that everyone understood.

When moving to Tokyo at 19, my passion for photography came out naturally, thanks to the country's focus on beauty in every details, but also to its many creative subcultures from the past and present. A major one to me was the radical free-minded works of the '60's ‘Provoke’ photographers, who showed that; "One can capture what cannot be said in words."

I later graduated in Arts at Temple University Japan in 2014, specializing in Photography and Filmmaking, and MBA at Globis University in 2017.
I now enjoy photography on my spare time, collaborating with friends and artists, helping curate exhibits, and showcasing awesome local creative talents.
