My artistic practice is grounded in the belief that art is a powerful tool for connection, healing, and transformation. I explore the intersections of body, culture, and decoloniality through participatory, interdisciplinary approaches that invite dialogue, imagination, and collective reflection. Working across visual arts, performance, storytelling, and education, I seek to create spaces where art is not only seen or produced, but lived—where individuals of all ages, especially children and communities, can engage in embodied, sensory, and meaningful encounters with creativity.

Deeply influenced by my Brazilian heritage and my experience living in Ireland, I draw from Indigenous knowledge systems, oral traditions, and popular culture to weave narratives that are both local and universal. Mythologies, rituals, and symbols from Brazilian and Irish traditions often find their way into my work, serving as bridges between histories, territories, and ways of being. I am particularly interested in the body as a site of memory, resistance, and invention, and in the role of play and material exploration as methods of learning, expression, and care. In my practice, I prioritize inclusive methodologies that honour diverse experiences and knowledge. Whether in workshops, community projects, or interactive performances, I approach each context with curiosity and care, tailoring activities that foster co-creation, autonomy, and joy.

My work with children has taught me that art can be a powerful language for identity, belonging, and emotional development—especially when it is open-ended, hands-on, and rooted in lived experience. Ultimately, I view my role as both artist and educator as an ongoing inquiry: a practice of listening, experimenting, and imagining new ways to be together through art. Through this work, I aim to contribute to a more just, creative, and connected world.
