Jangada (Raft) Painting

I was born in São Paulo in 1964. I am the daughter of Portuguese immigrants. I still remember the first time that I won inks and papers, should have 4 years old and I was fascinated. That was the day I thought, "this is what I want to do ... forever." The mixture of inks and colors fascinated me because I was always very observant and sensitive. I like to experiment various techniques and explore various topics. But is the impressionism that attracts me. I am the daughter of Portuguese immigrants. So I'm Portuguese too. I was born and raised in the period of the military dictatorship in Brazil. When I was a teenager I liked art about human rights and freedom. In 1994, when I went back to painting, Impressionism attracted me. After I almost died, I needed the flowers to heal the wound in my soul. I feel like dipping inside the flowers and staying inside, or lying down and rolling over a flowering field.
