Pina, What Started You on Your Creative Path?

I started drawing very early.

As a child I used to say that I made things that exist and things that don’t exist. As a teenager, I started studying, drawing, and painting in a free atelier (studio).

Afterwards, I studied journalism and took art courses at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage.

How Did You Develop Your Style?

I started with the classic, then I adopted sketches as the main language. Influenced by concretism and constructivism, I arrived at what I call a “minimal design”.

With sculptures, I prefer aluminum and concrete, and in painting, acrylic on canvas.

Where Can Your Works Be Found?

In my atelier (studio) in Cosme Velho, Rio de Janeiro, and in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

What Else Are You Up To?

I translate French and English for websites and publishers. I’ve been writing a book about my work.

ETChster Community?

Share my work and meet people.
