About the artist
About the artist
In 1982 my mother started painting porcelain. She taught me the technique from “penetado” and decided to paint some plates using drawings of fish in pen and ink that I had made a few years before, inspired by the work of artist Aldemir Martins.
It turned out so cool that I completed the 12 drawings to make a game that it ended up becoming my regular gift to friends and family.
In 2014 my niece Amanda got married and, as I had promised her, I painted a game for the new couple, this time with a super case for a gift.
Since then I have been producing and expanding this collection and developing others.
