Born in Brazil in 1987, he is currently based and working in Milan. He studied at the Fine Arts of Milan (Brera) and moved to Paris from 2010 to 2020. As an afro descendent artist, his work is concentrated on social disparities, researching discrimination and its realities, social structures in Europe and all over the world. He is interested in the theory and the signification behind the word racism and discrimination and has found a semantic signification social historic to that word using texts by authors like Frantz Fanon, James Baldwin, Angela Davis, Michele Alexander, and Robin DiAngelo. With a vocabulary typically taken in the English language, he explores concepts born in the USA during the 20th century to do a social introspection with European characteristics, elaborate themes related with colonialism, reminiscences present still today with the celebration of architecture and monuments, urbanism related to social disparition, ethic in the photographic work and its process, and also its effects on civilization and its social complexity, always with an empathic eye on the collective and individual. .
