Series: Ofícios
Ofícios is a series that portrays work as heritage and identity – a tribute to the manual skills that shape Brazil and stand the test of time.
Brazilians who are guardians of traditions and livelihoods that are disappearing in the rush of progress. From the marisqueira to the trapicheiro, from the cortador de cana to the artesão – each portrait pays tribute to the dignity and beauty of a trade.Professions that are disappearing from the scene, but remain here, preserved by art.

Series: Fé & Crendices
Fé e Crendices will be a series exploring popular spirituality as an expression of identity, resistance, and belonging — a portrait of the Brazil that believes, prays, heals, and celebrates.
From promises at the altar to herbal garrafadas, from rituals of syncretism to the blessings of the rezadeira — each image will be a dive into the invisible forces that move entire communities. A tribute to beliefs that withstand time, even as modernity tries to silence their symbols.
Here, faith is body, gesture, and tradition. And art, once again, will preserve what cannot be erased.
About Brasil Profundo
Brasil Profundo does not aim to portray the entire Brazil, but celebrates fragments of the real Brazil — the Brazil that pulses in the margins, in the traditions that resist, and in the stories that shape our identity.
More than just a collection of portraits, it is a tribute to beauty and a testimony to traditions, where generative art meets our roots — that Brazil that persists in the everyday, in the faces, and in collective memories.
Divided into series such as Ofícios, Fé e Crendices, Festas Populares, and others that I will still bring to life, each image is a gesture of memory and belonging, becoming a living archive of our heritage. We live in times when the past is quickly forgotten, and that’s why art resists — recording is also preserving.
Here, algorithms don’t create distance, but bring us closer. Each portrait carries the strength of a collective heritage, a visual ode to the Brazil that pulses in its roots and will now remain.
