He became a self-taught painter in 1992 on the occasion of his Master's degree at the State University of Campinas UNICAMP - although he always scribbled on bread papers, wrapping papers or any papers that appeared during his childhood and adolescence. During this period, he met Thomaz Perina, Mario Bueno and Wanderley Zalochi with whom he learned a lot and for whom he has great friendship and gratitude.

Over the years, he continues in the exercise of becoming a painter because, after all, "we eagerly need colors and shapes to color our lives and our reality".

His works are present in the collections of the University of Leeds in England, Fresco in the Art Museum Al'aperto de Mesenzana Mortiglienco-Vercelli - Italy, Galeria Crissay-Sur-Manse - France, Museum of Contemporary Art of Campinas - MACC, State University of Campinas - UNICAMP, Federal University of São Carlos - UFSCar and Federal University of Goiás - UFG.
