Graphic works, photography and video are the usual disciplines of this young Brazilian artist who is interested in the physics of materials and space and the entropic nature of things. She tends to approach her projects as a continuous process where she tries to highlight the invisible. She studied art and design in Rio de Janeiro and London and held her first exhibitions in her hometown of Rio in 2005, after which she started taking her works to galleries and institutional centres in Italy, France and Portugal. She has participated in several international fairs, and in 2011 and 2012 she won the Rumos Itaú Programme Visual Arts Prize in Brazil.
