Brief Resume
When i was 12 years old i had contact with some paintings, draws and inks and thats how i found out what i wanted to do for life.
When i was 14 years old, i was doing some real good works drawing in the paper; that was the time my father bought my first computer.Since this day, i left the pencils and dedicated myself to the vectorial programs on my computer, after that came the 3d and painting softwares.
3 years ago i started studying the history of art which gave me more informations and sources to do my draws and compositions.
What caused the great change in my drawing style and design was the fact that my girlfriend Mayara Noguchi is a psychology student, then I started to interest myself in some subjects: psychology gestalt, psychology of the colors, chrome therapy, optics, perception and others subjects that helped me a lot in my work’s evolution.
Projects
Nowadays I’m dedicating myself in a compilation of a book about Brasilian Experimental Design, I had never wonder that it would be so dificult, that’s why there is an agency deciding about all the financians and bureaucracy. The book doesn’t have an especific date to be launched.
Inspiration
I´m lookig for some artistic movement which i could have some identification to it so that could give me one way to follow up. Actually, my favorite is the russian construtivism which has a very actual language although it has more than 40 years….
I´m crazy about japanese art, which has been influencing a lot my image criations too.
The Bauhaus school’s concept has also a big influences on my way of think and act when i’m creating, the interesting thing about Bauhaus is that it was the most influential school of industrial drawing of the century XX. It created elements that altered architecture, decoration and arts drastically. The largest trump card was to put the beauty to service the practical. It created comfortable furnitures in geometric and simple forms, for example.
The school prioritized the intelligence, the functionality of the design. The production could be in series, but it still maintained the aesthetic beauty.
The academic proposal was different from any university of that time. The student was not forced to study classes, they invented the workshop concept. They could attend the classes that interested them and they learned what wanted. The Bauhaus’ course didn’t have a stipulated time to end. Bauhaus still exists in the United States. In Germany, it was closed by Hittler a little before IIª Guerra.

I really have a couple of styles of working, my highly rendered work is more influenced by traditional fine art, then theres a more commercial side that is favoured by the editorial, publishing, fashion market.
I got involved with illustration four years ago. I’m self-taught, I have no degree (or anything close to it), nor any professional training.
I try to do whimsical and abstract drawings. I think my style is a mish mash of the ways that effort ends up coming across.
