Dopamine

Dopamine” exploded onto the canvas in the weeks after I returned from the South of France in May 2025. Dopamine is pure neurochemical celebration. Thick rivers of white and vivid colour surge against a deep midnight ground, like reward pathways igniting in real time. Cyan arcs, coral flashes, emerald loops and golden streaks twist and explode in unrestrained joy.
Drawn from my background in the analysis of mind and human behaviour, this painting captures the moment the psyche floods itself with pleasure: raw, instinctive, and unapologetically alive. No plan, no rules; only the body’s memory of light, salt, and happiness made visible.
A bold, textured burst of life force that brings heat and healing to any room.

I’m a Brazilian-born, self-taught Australian artist of European heritage. I paint intuitively, guided by emotion, symbolism, and my studies in Carl Jung’s analytical psychology. My creative process comes from within , a place where healing, archetypes, and transformation unfold through colour, texture, and instinct.
My multicultural background shapes the way I see the world: layered, complex, and always evolving. Each piece I create carries a healing energy and invites the viewer to feel, connect, and expand beyond the ordinary.
I believe art is a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, and my work reflects that dialogue.
Forever unconventional, I create art that speaks to the soul.
My work blends colour, movement, and symbolic imagery to reconnect with our inner freedom, and the truth of who we are. Each piece is created from a place of presence, feeling, and purpose. I don’t follow rules or formal techniques; I follow the heart.
