Brat on fashion

1. What significant life experiences or events have influenced and shaped your artistic vision?
I’ve always been inspired by pop divas from around the world—they’ve been a huge influence on my creative journey. Beyond that, life itself is a constant teacher, especially when faced with the stark inequalities and distortions we see in the world. My curiosity and hyperactive nature have always pushed me to explore and learn. I hope my art can truly reach people and communicate something meaningful to them.
2. Collaboration often sparks fresh creativity. Can you share an example of a collaboration that led to an unexpected and exciting artistic outcome?
My favorite collaboration has been with my friend Renato Filho. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s as if we’ve known each other in past lives. Everything just clicks, and we understand each other so well. Some of my best work has undoubtedly been created alongside him.
3. Walk us through a specific project that challenged your creative boundaries. How did you approach it, and what did you learn from the experience?
One of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I took on was for Peran Jeans, a brand from a small town where the concept of branding was almost nonexistent. I introduced branding elements in a way that left the entire town amazed. We presented the collection through a fashion show and a campaign shoot, creating a milestone moment for the brand. Another boundary-pushing achievement has been working with international brands without even leaving Brazil. I’ve collaborated with clients in England and am currently working on a project for New York—it’s thrilling and constantly exceeds expectations.
4. In the ever-evolving art world, what do you believe sets your work apart and makes it unique or groundbreaking?
I think what sets my work apart is my ability to blend global inspirations with local storytelling. I strive to create art that communicates deeply with people, challenging perspectives and sparking emotion. My curiosity and willingness to push creative limits also play a big role in keeping my work fresh and impactful.
5. As you reflect on your journey, are there any specific goals or milestones you’ve set for your artistic career in the coming years?
I have a strong desire to work internationally, and one of my biggest goals is to travel abroad and collaborate on projects outside of Brazil. I also want to expand my work within São Paulo, which has so much potential for creativity and innovation.
