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

Whenever we visited our relatives in Rio, I enjoyed spending creative time with my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins, almost all painters. Especially, seeing my uncle paint his incredible conceptual photo-realistic sceneries and portraits is what sparked a passion for storytelling.

We later moved to several cities around Europe, where I got to experience different cultures and meet lifelong friends, while often struggling with language barriers. I found some comfort though on discovering how visual art transcended words. A language everyone knew.
 
My passion for photography started when I moved to Tokyo at 19, where I was seduced by the city's attention to beauty in every detail, and its many subcultures. The free-minded works of the ‘60s “Provoke” photographers, who expressed that one can capture what cannot be said in words, were a major influence.
 
I currently enjoy photography in my spare time, collaborating with local artists and helping curate exhibits.
