About this artwork
Reserved for an Exhibition in São Paulo.
Water and Oil Don’t Mix is both the title and the guiding principle of this series. In creating these artworks, I use the natural resistance between oil and acrylic as a method of discovery.
By layering these incompatible materials on the same surface, I observe pigments pushing, repelling and settling into unexpected organic forms. This encounter becomes both process and metaphor, capturing moments of… tension, separation and uneasy coexistence.
The series also invites us to reflect on the challenges that can arise when individuals shaped by many different backgrounds and belief systems find themselves sharing a common space, be it a place or a community.
Developed during the GlogauAIR Online Residency (Berlin, Oct–Dec 25), the project was also fully documented, resulting in a series of process videos that add another layer of reflection to the experiment, where time plays a crucial role in organizing and rearranging the initial settings.

As an artist, I am interested in the visible and invisible forces that shape individual and collective experience, particularly how environments, social systems, and belief structures influence perception, behavior, and forms of belonging. My work examines how these forces operate through what is shown and what remains hidden, and how divisions are constructed through fear, prejudice, and exclusion.
I approach my practice as an inquiry into tension: between visibility and concealment, separation and interconnectedness, surface and depth, detail and totality. Working across painting and mixed media, I experiment with the collision and combination of techniques and materials. Through processes of layering, interruption, and material testing, I explore transformation and shifts across media as ways of questioning how meaning is formed and destabilized.
