I crafted this butterfly automaton as a gift for a friend who inspires me. The wings, made from handmade paper, mimic nature’s beauty, while a twig forms the body. Old guitar strings bring it to life—a nod to transformation and resilience. Every detail tells a story, from its fluttering wings to its organic materials. Here’s to friends, creativity, and the little things that make us smile!

Captured a moment of stillness with watercolor, a quiet scene reflecting tranquility and architectural charm at "Fábrica da Pólvora de Barcarena". Painting this piece felt like a meditation, focusing on each brushstroke and watching the water and pigment flow into place. Sometimes it’s the simple scenes that bring the most calm.
