I was a recluse child: while kids at my age played soccer, I spent hours drawing indoors, to the delight and relief of my mother. Today, however, my inspiration comes mainly from the streets:
I like urban types, imperfect and gnarly. Obnoxious, sometimes. I use the art to provoke. I appreciate urban art and admire names of various artistic movements
— from the American underground counterculture to the contemporary graffiti scene.
Brazilian illustrator with Italian roots, I’m the kind of person who will never turn down a burger and who dreams of having an English bulldog.
I’m a bit of a night owl, but feel more productive during the mornings: I frequently wake up at 6am to draw, just for fun.
I have breathed art since I was born, but made it my profession in 2007. Based in São Paulo.
