I'm a former chemistry and physics teacher, graduated at USP.
I gradually developed my hand skills, and what used to be
a hobby became a profession that I gladly do: I'm a miniaturist
and miniature teacher.
When
I began this hobby, doll's house was nearly unknown in Brazil
, and I had to learn it all by myself. I always try to update
myself with what's new, keeping in touch with foreign miniaturists,
magazines and books.
In 2000 I met Roselly Pizzolotti. We then founded MiniClube,
a group with the goal to gather miniature lovers and spread
this art through our country, Brazil . With around 250 members,
we've already done several meetings, exhibitions and workshops.
During
this years working with miniatures, I had many works published
in magazines, books and websites, and I also gave some interviews
to newspapers and TV shows (including a international one).
It takes whole months to finish one
of my miniatures, because I insist on making every piece on
it. I like to work with wood and polymerclay, but I can use
all kinds of material.
