Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

Her artistic practice takes shape across various mediums, techniques, and scales, with a focused exploration of the color blue—connected both to the landscapes of the island-city where she was born and to aspects of the history of painting. Her work is marked by themes of presence and absence within the Atlantic diaspora. Her production also intertwines with experiences such as urban painting practices, art education, and participation in artist residency programs, including Angola AIR – Espaço Luanda Arte (2022), Outra Margem (2021), Vila Sul – Goethe-Institut Salvador (2020), and Malungas (2018), in collaboration with Brazilian artist Rosana Paulino.
