I was very artistically encouraged by my parents since I was a child. I learned to read and write at home, and my earliest memories are of me drawing with my mom, playing guitar with my dad, and gaming with my friends. During classes, as a child and teenager, I would draw on desks, the back of tests, and on the walls at home and in the street. I took dance, theater, and painting classes, and I had bands throughout my life until I was 22.
My parents passed away when I was still a teenager, and I went to live with my uncles, who didn’t see me as an artist. This made me stray from that path and seek something more socially acceptable. I tried to go to college for business administration and law, but it didn’t work out. At 25, I dropped everything and went to art school, graduating in 2019. Since then, I've been working to live off my art. With the pandemic, I migrated to digital art, and here I am. I didn’t choose art; it chose me. 😁 😁 1 reply

Yes, there were several people who helped me a lot, but especially my professors and mentors during my undergraduate studies, Helga Correa (IG @correa_helga) and Suzana Gruber (IG @suzana_gruber). They taught me to think about art and, above all, respected my pace, making me believe in my potential as an artist. They were fundamental to my artistic maturity and development, especially Helga, taking my works to exhibitions when I didn’t believe I could be accepted and showing me that it was possible to live off art when I was feeling discouraged. I owe a lot to them.
And in the web3 space, I need to highlight @kflemmer. He managed to identify this conceptual side of mine and also believed in my work. Without even trying, just by being who he is, he changed my relationship with digital art and the community and has always been very attentive and helpful. He is undoubtedly a reference for me and a good friend. 😅 2 replies

I’m already a member of the channel and intend to participate actively, thank you very much, pkok. I’m a very introspective guy and have had a relatively difficult life, which has made my artistic journey quite challenging, but everything is aligning now... I remember the first international exhibition where my work was shown (and I couldn't attend in person), but it was a really nice moment.. it was a group exhibition of prints in Uruguay. I’m very proud to still be creating despite all the difficulties I’ve faced. That, for me, is my greatest achievement and what fills my heart. Every time artists I admire collect my work, I feel very, very happy. The support I’m receiving from everyone in Web3 is extremely gratifying. I still have a long way to go, and I know that a lot can still happen. 😁 3 replies
