I am a trained Art Therapist with a Bachelor's degree that includes psychological theory, therapeutic techniques, and an understanding of diverse cultural perspectives on therapy and mental health. Currently pursuing a Master's degree from the renowned Metàfora Art Therapy and Studio Art School in Barcelona. Combining theoretical studies with extensive hands-on experience, it is one of the most respected programs in Europe, known for its integrative and interdisciplinary approach to both psychotherapy and art.
Emphasising the connection between creative practice and mental health, focusing on the therapeutic potential of art-making I offer the following services:
-
I offer Art Therapy specifically for the needs of children within education and leisure spaces.
Art therapy empowers children to develop coping skills, build self-esteem, and find healing by using creativity as a means to communicate thoughts and emotions that words alone cannot express.
-
As adolescents mature, they develop the ability to understand abstract concepts and to form judgments. The desire to find their individual selves is processed through stages - an overly intensive absorption with themselves, exaggerated dependency on peers, and withdrawal from parental influences. In addition, societal and economic pressures on adolescents fit into a mold of behaviors that are not necessarily in harmony with their internal stages of maturing.
I offer specific work for Art Therapy with adolescents.
-
The Creative Process itself can be revealing and combined with the perspective of todays economic view.
I offer specific Workshops for different companies and business fields. Specifically in moments of restructuring and need for team building.
The goal of art therapy is to utilize the creative process to help people explore self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal insight + develop new coping skills. The creation or appreciation of art is used to help people explore emotions, develop self-awareness, cope with stress, boost self-esteem, and work on social skills.
Artistic Expression
selected projects
Fred Benicio
For Fred Benicio & Os Malungos, I led the creative direction, graphic design, filming, and editing for their EP and video clip. Combining design and music, I crafted visuals that reflect the vibrant energy and unique sound of this São Paulo-based band. My work aimed to capture the essence of their music, creating a seamless blend of art and sound that enhances the listening and viewing experience.
DJ Selva
I directed a vibrant nude photoshoot for Selva, the DJ duo, to create bold T-shirt designs that capture their edgy and energetic vibe. The project also extended to show appearance visuals, blending creativity and music to elevate their brand presence both on stage and in their merchandise.
Photograpy
One of my passions, whether capturing the energy of the streets or creating polished studio shoots. From the vibrant streets of Miami, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires to the scenic beauty of Barcelona and Switzerland, I bring my love for photography into every frame. Each location offers unique inspiration, and I thrive on translating that into visuals.
Raver Princess
A Fusion of Fantasy and Techno. Raver Princess merges the elegance of a classic, polished Disney-like shoot with the raw, edgy aesthetics of the underground techno scene. This unique visual concept blends fantasy and rebellion, creating a striking contrast that highlights both the whimsical and gritty sides of modern culture.
Quêm Ve?
In this videoclip, we explore a profound tapestry of themes centered around the human challenges that arise from our disregard for ourselves, our loved ones, and the Earth we share. Through artistic expression, we delve into the consequences of neglecting our inner worlds and the fragile balance of nature. It's an invitation to reflect on the power of dreams, to believe in our ability to shape a more compassionate, harmonious life together. “Tamo Junto.”
Lyrics Portuguese: Quem vê a vida diferente é você
A viajem que eu sinto eu não consigo explicar. Meus olhos tão abertos não consigo enxergar, como pode haver ódio e desunião vivendo num mundo irmão matando irmão. Olhe veja o que está acontecendo o mundo dos valores Á ta te fudendo não consegue ver que a vida é pra viver querem te comandar pra você sobreviver
Quem vê a vida diferente é você
Vejo que meu canto ele soa bem eu não desejo mal pra ninguém. Estou do lado da verdade não preciso me preocupar, porque se a vida é inserta ao menos tenho poder de sonhar, cada um na sua loucura cada um na sua viajem cada um na sua mentira cada um na sua verdade…
Lyrics English: Who sees life differently is you
The journey I feel, I cannot explain. My eyes are far open but cannot see, how can there be hatred and disunity living in world where brother kills brother. Look, see what is happening out there, the world of values is fucking with you, are you able to see that life is to live, but they want to command you for you to survive
Who sees life differently is you
I see that my singing sounds good I do not wish harm to anyone. I'm on the side of the truth, I don't need to worry, as life is uncertain at least I have the power to dream, each one in his madness, each one in his journey, each one with his lies, each one with his truth….
