Tell us more about yourself...

I am a self-taught digital and traditional artist living in Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro. I will complete one year in September in the NFT world and particularly... this is my place! Before knowing the NFT I was going through very difficult situations in several areas of my life and the community embraced me in a way that made me see hope again in life.

How would you describe your NFT artwork?

I see art as a healing process so in this way I tell a bit of my life, my daily life, feelings... and I also use artifice to record and tell a bit of the history of where I came from, I think it is important to have this work to value and mark the space.

Why did you choose this piece to show us?

It tells about my day to day life, through animation I portrayed a place that I hold in high esteem and that I go to think, drink and sometimes have a little fun. I never told anyone but in this animation I show a star that I saw there for the last time, she was a person that we always met in this place...

Can you leave a message for collectors and other artists who are willing to connect with you?

Never give up on your dreams no matter how impossible it may seem, believe and fight for it, it may be cliché, silly but if I'm here today I can fight it's thanks to art. Since always I breathe art and hear that I will never be anything or anyone in life and today I can show the opposite, today I can conquer with my effort thanks to the opportunity of the NFT. I never imagined that something like this would happen in my life and today I am living what they said was impossible.
