Don't own any model. I like abstractionism, surrealism, figurative, but don't cling to any particular style.

What does art mean to you? If you were to summarize in a few words the meaning of Arts in your life…

Art is the expression of feelings that arise from the soul, making us look at life differently, releasing great emotions.

What are the techniques that you use to express your ideas, feelings and perceptions about the world? (Whether it is through painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, photography… or uses several techniques in order to make a mix of different art forms).

Like to express my perception of the world through painting and photography recording aspects of nature, of everyday life and life itself.

Every artist has his mentor, that person who you have mirrored, you encouraged and inspired you to follow this career, going ahead and taking your dreams the other expression levels, who this person is and how it introduced you in the art world?

One of the people who encouraged me to return the fine arts was my friend Yolande Cimino, visual artist. Another person of great knowledge in arts, was the artist and professor Luiz Alberto de Genaro, I had a valuable learning some techniques, and that inspired me to improve my own style.
