About the artist behind the handmade ceramics
A ceramic artist guided by intuition and the quiet dialogue with clay. Working with my hands connects me to the traces and rhythms of the earth, grounding me in presence and balance. Each piece I create emerges not only from technique, but also from stillness, patience, and the beauty of simplicity.
My intention is to create objects that bring the presence of nature into everyday rituals ā forms of calm and care that invite a slower, more mindful way of living. In my work, the traces and rhythms of the earth resonate as a reminder of stillness and simplicity.
ach series I create carries a Brazilian word as its name. In this way, I weave together my roots in Brazil with my life in the Netherlands. These words express the bond between my culture, my work, and the earth itself ā between the traces and rhythms of the earth that continually inspire me.
