Statement

Neither a mere colour nor an aesthetic effect, it has become an inner territory, a space between sky and ocean, between falling and rising.

Through oil painting, soft pastel, watercolour and film, I explore states of the soul: resilience, confrontation, rebirth. Blue acts as an emotional developer. It absorbs tension, amplifies silence and opens a passage towards introspection.

Female figures hold a central place. They are not models but archetypes: rising from the water, holding a gaze, accepting the storm. The body becomes a place of transformation.

Symbolism, Byzantine art and my Brazilian roots, in particular the figure of Yemanjá, feed this research. Water, golden light and the mirror sometimes set into the canvas open a dialogue between the work and the viewer.

Over time this exploration extended to film, then to the creation of the Bleu Paris Festival, a natural continuation of my research into this colour, this time through the eyes of other artists.

My work sits at the crossroads of painting, writing and cinema.
