Dried leaves hand painted mounted on a canvas leaf-by-leaf. These pieces reflect our generation's return to nature by rejuvenating dried leaves into art. With a combination of abstract and bold colors the "Leaves" series expresses the colorful elements as in my Brazilian and Miamian culture: strong, vibrant and alive. Utilizing an organic mentality, I wanted to highlight our environment's intrinsic beauty.

When seen in person, these real life pieces are three dimensional and considered an installation. I am starting to discover that options are endless with leaves....
Abstract is my current artistic vision, as leaves will continue to be the foundation of my following work. In the next sequence, I translated one of my dreams, with fascination by the color blue - like the shades of the ocean - I continued to follow the pattern of the leaves.
