"Since I was very young, I began to search in the world of art by painting. Mainly I was painting landscapes, in Brazil, where I lived for some time.In 2002, I came to New York, and here I found a city full of motives that woke up my inspiration for art. I became more and more fascinated with the different images that I found while walking the streets, where I saw art all over – on walls, on trucks, on mail boxes, on subways – anywhere young people find a way of communicating via code systems.

"My work represents the city of New York, the streets, the people, and the footsteps of everyone that passes through the city.Some are born in New York, and others go to experience the life of this great city.The mixture of people from all over the world, the diversity of cultures, the different images that people project in every corner of the city, had aroused my curiosity. In every street of the city, one can find drawings, signatures, etc., that for me represent the people of the city, and are important tools for my art.This is a relevant factor that characterized my work, and the idea is that every person that acquires one of my paintings is taking to their homes a little part of New York City.

"Through my work I try to create spaces that I feel represent the city.I immerse myself in the world of the street, living with people who spent most of their time in them.

"Somebody told me, some time ago, that my art represents the chaos of the city, but in a positive way.To see chaos as positive is my final purpose, transforming the street things in something agreeable to the observer."
