ABOUT ME

I avoid routine and try to keep some fresh actions on my daily life. Even if it means to walk through a different route everyday. I do love traveling. I enjoy long chats. I enjoy diversity of cultures and ideas. I am addicted to music and I constantly create soundtracks to my own "personal scenes". I breathe visual arts and communication. I left Brazil in 2009 for discovering new worlds. Never stop learning how to decode new signs. I lived in London for a year, in Berlin for a month, in Dessau for 4 months and since march 2011 I'm in Bremen, Germany. I am doing a masters program in digital media and I promised myself to stay here for at least 3 semesters more. Of course I will conclude it. I intend to understand cultural aspects in graphic / digital design and art history while traveling. My real friends are very few and are my precious treasure in life - even when we are living quite far. Musical scenarios, Gigs, clubs, cinemas, theater, museums and street galleries are always on my to do list wherever in the world I am.

PHILOSOPHY

I am aware that no one can change others people's mind. Doing so I try hard not to try to change them but to understand [at least a bit] what they really want to tell me. Specially when I can't agree or see myself in that scenario. I'm a visual communicator 24h working on communication problems and fortunately they are constantly around me. The contrast of opinions catches my attention in a considerable way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musical taste is quite wide considering that I can love minimal techno and folk music at the same time. I am currently in love with some german artists such as Apparat, Pantha du Prince, Siriusmo, Ellen Allien and some british such as Four Tet and surely the master Aphex Twin. Some others addictive music that I never stop listening are Björk, Radiohead and Thom York solo, Morrissey and Smiths, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Van Morrisson and Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. That's it. I can't stop talking about music. Sorry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Uffiizi gallery in Florence, Italy.
All the beaches in Rodes island, Greece.
Morrissey gig in London.
Speak to Neville Brody randomly in a gallery in London, Bricklane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn by living life and sharing thoughts. I won't try to prove my point by changing others people's mind. It annoys me when people do it to me. I will always show my ideas as an alternative response and I'll probably change it if the other presents me a better idea on that topic. To grow is to accept changes.
