1. Which outfit describes who you are most?
(above) I think that the clothes I wear to go to my studio every day need to be comfortable, and at the same time, I like to play around a bit with prints, textures, and some surprise colors; the more combinations I can make in a look, the better…
2. What is your favorite medium and color?
I’m crazy about photography and painting, in fact painting is what I do most of my time and my color is green
3. Which of your pieces are you obsessed with?
The Martine Rose x WMMS Shoe in orange. Unfortunately, getting some of these pieces in Brazil is still very difficult. When I found it during my season in NYC it was like buying a spaceship for my feet, lol
4. What outfit do you wear when you feel most confident?

The clothes have to suit my mood, sometimes I go out as a bad girl or I go out as a football player, sometimes it’s about comfort and comfortable shoes make me happy
5. What interests you about creating abstract or non-figure paintings?
I love the possibility of creating things entirely from scratch. As a child, I was very obsessed with drawing human figures, usually as I wanted to be, and they were appearances very far from my own, so I love creating non-figurative worlds; I think it’s an extension of my body or a kind of portrait of emotions and also an identity outside of standards and labels.
6. Which of your artwork shows the most emotions of happiness, anger, frustration, humor?
7. Do you find your style of art free from stylistic constraints?
Of course, I didn’t study painting formally, which gave me a lot of freedom; there are almost no rules or limits to what I do. I think alternative “brushes” are great, as they use all types of paint. This is very important because not everyone has access to studying painting, which brings many limits; I’m grateful to have my work growing and being well received beyond the formalities of fine arts colleges.
