Exu (also known as Eshu or Esu) is a prominent Orisha in Yoruba religion and its diasporic traditions, including Brazilian Candomblé and Santería. Often depicted as a trickster, messenger, and guardian of the crossroads, Exu represents the principles of communication, chance, and change. His dual nature reflects the unpredictability of life, as he can be a source of both chaos and harmony.
Symbolically, Exu is associated with the colors red and black, which represent vitality, power, and the unknown. He is often depicted holding a staff or a walking stick, which symbolizes his role as a guide and protector. His connection to the crossroads underscores his influence over the pivotal moments in life, where choices must be made and paths diverge.
To the Yoruba people and their diaspora, Exu is revered for his ability to open and close the pathways between the spiritual and physical worlds. He is often invoked for guidance, protection, and the resolution of conflicts.

By exploring the rich symbolism and mythology of Yoruba religion, I create an intersection between the material and spiritual realms within each painting. My "A energia dos Orixas" series serves as a gateway for viewers to connect with and experience the power and energy of the Orishas, inviting them to transcend the boundaries of the physical world.

Artista auto-didata, a minha busca é pela expressão genuína dos sentimentos e sensações.

Cada trabalho nasce de um mergulho interior profundo, e as obras florescem com a ideia primordial de que há uma realidade, verdade e percepção mais profundas do que aquilo que os olhos podem ver.

Talvez a escola artística que mais se aproxime desse modo de pensar seja o expressionismo abstrato, cuja base é a própria subjetividade do artista.

Eu gostaria de ir além e dizer que a minha busca é a de uma certa espacialidade na pintura, através de uma perspectiva espiritual e, portanto, una. Embora os muitos elementos existentes apontem para uma sensação mais barroca, fechada, também existe o domínio da espacialidade, onde de perto vêem-se elementos dentro de elementos, pequenas unidades de informação que constituem e informam o todo.
