I'm a girl born by the sea and river, in a fisherman's city, on the other side of the river from Lisbon.

I'm interested in painting and I'm developing my technique and painting concepts by living in different cities. Different cultures inspire me with their colors, textures and stories. My paintings are mostly the result of my growth and experience living abroad and the need to know myself better and improve myself everyday.
