About me

Being dedicated for over 35 years exclusively to sculpture, I am glad to give back to two important cities in my life with monuments in public squares, Cerro Largo and Porto Alegre, both in Rio Grande do Sul - a state in the southern region of Brazil.

In 2020, I expanded the structure of my studio to meet the rising demand of my sculptures for both residential and corporate developments and private collections.

Major solo exhibitions:
- "Do Abraço à Expansão" (From Embrace to Expansion), at the Augusto Meyer Room of the Casa de Cultura Mário Quintana;
- "A Pedra em Processo" (The Stone in Process), at the Centro Municipal de Cultura de Porto Alegre;

Outstanding group exhibition:
- "Artistas Gaúchos na Fundação Iberê" (Gaucho Artists at Iberê Foundation), at Iberê Camargo Foundation.

The language of my work involves the figurative and abstract in the stone sculpture technique.
