The intuitive way guides my process of painting clothes, which after two years of production and remarkable experiences, I christened with the name of Forging Armor.

Research, collection, observation, occupation, resignification, reuse. Bring to life elements that have been discarded. Thus, the shapes, textures and colors are presented and, through this, I forge armors that carry stories, strength, protection, symbols, illusion, fear and many questions.

Living works, armor that transits in a passing and dancing body. This is how I see and feel my clothes on me. Going beyond the likes and dislikes, feel and use, make it overflow. It was from this movement that this new language blossomed and that, now, I also share with the world.

Here, I present to you a collection of armor forged in different countries around the world, during my artistic experiences, bringing together works created from 2018 to the present: https://www.forjandoarmaduras.com/.
