About Me

I can say I'm an artist, I'm curious, I wanna know people, places, minds, cultures, realities, fantasies. I wanna live everything in everyway, sometimes I wanna be everyone. That's why I became an actress, so I could try the World by being someone else.

Writing is very important to me and I wrote a huge number of Diaries since I could put my thoughts on paper. I write poetry as well, but so far only in Portuguese. Sometimes I draw and paint also.

I love to send postcards and I have a huge collection of blank ones that I send to all my friends and other meaningful people to me.


PHILOSOPHY

SAL - Sabedoria, Amor e Liberdade (Knowledge, Love and Freedom)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every kind of artistic manifestation.

I read a lot (I love fantasy books). My favorite book is "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas.
I read The Doors of Perception not long ago and I'm still mesmerized by it.

Music is the air I breath (I love all kinds of Rock, especially Post Rock). I love Rock and Folk Festivals (amongst others). The bands I've been listening to lately: Explosions in the Sky (favorite gigs ever!), Radiohead, Temples, Sigur Ros, Tame Impala, If These Trees Could Talk, Pink Floyd (the eternal!), Led Zeppelin...

Cinema is like a window I can use to see Worlds that I couldn't see other way. I love Xavier Dolan movies and Christopher Nolan is another one of my favorite directors. Miyazaki makes me wonder about the meaning of everything that surrounds us.

I just started with anime and I got pretty addicted. I love Rurouni Kenshin, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Shingeki no Kyojin, Nana and Mushishi (basically all the ones I've seen so far).

And there's theatre and performance, of course, to help me traveling in those special feelings that I can't describe but just feel through the connection with the artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember a magical sunset in the sea, while a big yellow Full Moon was rising in the opposite way. One of the most magical things I can think of, but that's because I have never seen the wonderlights... Simple things can make me so happy.

My energy and enthusiasm for life and new things! I love deep conversations about experiences and expectations.
