"I have always painted what I feel, not just what I see."
The ocean taught me that it is never the same twice, but it is always true. Born in Rio de Janeiro, living in Australia, I carry both oceans within me.
Over more than 30 years, I have built a body of work where surf, tropical nature and the human figure meet in the same language: colour, movement and truth.

Beyond the Canvas
Creator of CA Studio
I'm also the creator of CA Studio, an app built to help painters at every stage, from complete beginners to advanced artists, master colour mixing and technique with guided, hands-on tools. It brings decades of studio experience into a simple digital companion for anyone who wants to paint with more confidence.
