Born in Lisbon in 1999.
Currently living and working in Berlin.

Graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor in Painting (Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon) and was awarded a 6 month Erasmus scholarship (Universität der Künste Berlin, class of professor Mark Sadler).

Working essentially with painting, drawing and on-site installations in an attempt to reorganise symbols and fragments that overlap in a rhythm of mutations, resulting in mysterious and unsettling images. Interested in working with non-conventional materials such as latex and concrete, objects found and given, things that crumble and disappear. Her work often focuses on images within images, the contrast of the fullness of a picture and the subtlety of its details, and questions of transparency, duality, reproduction and translation.
