Sometime around 2003, another opportunity came, and we moved to London. We traveled a lot, and I explored my artistic journey with much experimentation. I won awards and had exhibitions worldwide. Eventually, we broke up, and I moved back to Brazil around 2006.

During that period, I was lost and did a lot of soul-searching. I lived in a Buddhist temple for a few years (lived as a resident artist painting traditional Tibetan murals) and dedicated another few to a meditation school. I was brainwashed by a cult, but eventually, I realized it and left. I became a muralist painter to make a living, and after a while, I moved to the mountains to live in isolation.

It seems like you went through a very profound transformation during those years. Exploring such different paths from art in London to seeking inner peace in Brazil, then facing challenges at a meditation school has certainly provided many profound experiences. How do you think these chapters have influenced your current artwork?

The main influence was in my motivation. In my early years as an artist, I wanted fame. Now, I care about making a positive difference, regardless of  personal recognition.
