Born and residing in São Paulo, my interest in tattooing began at 14 years old. Since then, my dedication to art and drawing has constantly appeared in my life.
In 2014, I joined the Bachelor and Teaching in Visual Arts course at the Institute of Arts at UNESP, concomitantly starting my process as a tattoo artist. The artistic influences for my tattoo designs rely not only on other artistic languages (such as printmaking, painting, ceramics, etc.) but are also inspired by Arab and Oriental traditions in art history (including Middle Eastern countries, India and Japan) .
My work seeks a dialogue between my drawings and the subjectivity of those who are going to carry the tattoo with them. I create an aesthetic contract between myself and the client - which I call here the "tattooed individual", as our relationship is not restricted to commercial exchange - between space and identity. I see tattooing as a balance between the influences of one's social and personal context, as well as an opportunity to build bridges of communication between individuals who do tattoos, who are tattooed, and who observe this type of art on other's skin.
