About Me

Born European but on my four year journey in Brazil I ve been cannibalised, eaten, digested, and defecated as Brazilian painter devoted to the Amazon and Brazilian culture.Brazil had a big impact on my life,and conscious environmental problems and poverty but in the same time an orgy of colour and rythm.My art is like a wheapon in the hands of a kind of poisonous ivy invading the world of colonising plants and gorgeus orchids, Throught my art i want to infect people with happiness and joy to depressed pseudo intellectual europeans talking a lot and doing nothing.I m a lazy Brazilian Frida Khalo surrounded by femine bizarre orchids and Iris my fluorescent yellow,blue and red parrot.Though, I have a very european background an aristocratic, intelectual family who were sent to a japanese concentration camp because being my grandfather a diplomat in Japan did not agree with Mussolini's dictatorship.Went to french lyçèe Chateaubriand, and studied Chinese in La Sapienza Rome.I m a mix of italian,english,peruvian ,and also Brazilian blood,and travelled around the world.My painting is therefore the result of this melting pot.I m not a very edgy artist,I just paint,with a lot of colour, in an abstract expressionist way. My work deals with passion and rhytm.There is a southamerican tragicomic feeling in my work, a mix of serious matters combined in avery playful, colourful, joyous and gay fashion.

My Interests

art,brazilian spanish french english literature, eastern religions and especially budhism the only religion that has not created disaster in this poor world plant.I like growing orchids because they are very spiritual flowers and if they don t like you they simply die.they got strong character you have just to listen to them.like roses for their thorns, parfume and sensuality.I hated books due to my dyslexia but curious about everything, adore books but very slow,Not very sporty, want to start yoga ,will die dancing without music me and my paintings will be meaningless,Fancy astrology very good with tarots and not bad with I Ching.Love cooking and bein g vegetarian like to mix cuisine especially asian and southamerican like in Asia de Cuba New Yorkssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
