Lobo
I work with the female body as a place where desire, vulnerability, and resistance become visible.
Born in Goiânia and based in Mallorca, I move between watercolour, charcoal, painting, and mixed media. My figures carry the tension between what women are expected to be and the lives they choose for themselves.

I explore the tension between society’s expectations and a woman’s desire to shape her own life. Colour, gesture, and stitching trace the movement from constraint towards autonomy.

These portraits explore the feelings we struggle to voice and the boundaries we learn to set. Words and wandering lines give form to the conversation between inner desire and outward restraint.

In My Own Words
I bring women’s desire, pleasure, and self-expression into the open. Fluid figures and handwritten declarations explore the vulnerability—and the resolve—of speaking in one’s own words.

More Than One
Through layered portraits, I explore the many selves a woman can inhabit. Painted features, exposed drawing, and raised colour allow tenderness, anger, strength, and uncertainty to share the same face.

Botanical Bodies
Watercolour figures meet real flowers gathered in the fields of Mallorca. I explore the relationship between the female body, the landscape I inhabit, and the passing of seasons through these fragile materials.

Bodies Intertwined
Bodies fold towards one another, becoming shelters, supports, and shared forms. I explore the tenderness of closeness, the weight of care, and the trust involved in holding and being held.

Body of Light
Luminous lines draw the female body out of darkness. Through contour and repeated marks, I explore how a figure can assert its presence while keeping parts of itself private.

Secret Thoughts
Turned backs, lowered heads, and embraces carry feelings that remain unnamed. I explore the body as a place of retreat and intimacy, where protection, longing, and comfort can inhabit the same gesture.

The body.
The gaze.
A voice of my own.
Goiânia, Brazil → Mallorca, Spain
Before the body became a subject in my paintings, it was central to my life as an international model. Working in front of the camera made me attentive to the way a body is seen, presented, and interpreted. In my art, I explore what lies beyond that image: the desires, contradictions, and private worlds it can conceal.
I was born in Goiânia, Brazil, and trained in journalism. Modelling took me across countries and into contact with museums, exhibitions, and different ways of seeing. While living in Miami, I began to devote myself professionally to art, working first with pencil and charcoal before expanding into watercolour, painting, and mixed media.
Now based in Mallorca, I return repeatedly to the female figure. A turned back, a lowered head, an embrace, or a line crossing a face can hold a feeling that words leave unresolved. In Breaking Free, colour, gesture, and stitching address the pressure of social expectations and the possibility of choosing a different path. In Botanical Bodies, flowers gathered in Mallorca’s fields connect the figure to the island’s landscape and the passing of its seasons.
Movement runs through my life as both an artist and a triathlete. The body is something I observe, but also something I experience through effort, endurance, and change. I work intuitively, allowing delicate marks, strong colour, and unfinished lines to coexist.
In 2019, I presented Into Your Soul, a solo exhibition at the invitation of Park Hyatt Mallorca. In October 2026, Society and Fearless Heart / Passionate Soul, from Breaking Free, will be shown at Art Shopping Paris, held at the Carrousel du Louvre.
