My artwork focuses on turning discarded items into mixed media

assemblages. I reuse and recycle everyday found objects. Growing up in

Brazil I had to learn how to be resourceful at a young age. Nowadays my

creative urge makes me see these forsaken objects as an opportunity to

repurpose, relove and reinterpret. When all the salvaged items form a

cohesive assemblage what often emerges is a visual narrative which conveys

a sacred sense of rustic beauty.

My assemblage art often emulates many of the ancient relics that I have

seen in my world travels. I have always been intrigued by ancient cultures

and their art, particularly iconic Buddhist representations because they

inspire enlightenment, convey a sense of impermanence and detachment

from material things. I find the process of creating harmony out of

chaos fascinating, especially when the new reality stimulates the viewer’s

imagination and raises awareness about our delicate planet.

This new series that I have named “The Sacred Remanifestation” reveals my

artistic quest to discover a way to bring old, damaged and discarded items

together in a way that tells a new story. In homage to new beginnings,

forgotten objects take a new artistic identity and a sacred remanifestation.
