- 2012 - REVISITING RIO

After living nine years in São Paulo and retiring from work in the formal market activities and most importantly having lost my son ,

I returned to Rio de Janeiro.

After all that something else happened- I felt as a stranger in my own town. I then decided to photograph Rio de Janeiro in a way to make its way tangible and so help me reach the city that was always mine .

 

 

- 2012 - EMOTIONS - VISUAL EMPATY

Due to the documentary work developed with NGOs - Viva Rio, several communities were visited in Rio de Janeiro, among them Rocinha and Complexo do Alemão, were I photographed many children and was very impressed with their expressions and glances.

 

 

- 2013 - COLORS

Visiting the interior of Brazil where colors illuminate everything making it explode with energy, I realized how often we do not bother to take this beauty in , so I decided to collect these documents in order to share the vision of these many colored " Brazils".
