I’m the son of a tapestry maker and grew up surrounded by rolls of carpet in the Mantiqueira store, the store founded by my father. I spent my youth selling both industrial and handmade rugs — sisal, Persian, Chinese, and many others. Today, I revisit this world with contemporary techniques, using a tufting gun alongside the experience I’ve built in art, culture, design, and journalism.

 

Every project begins with a conversation over pão de queijo and coffee. I believe that before any stitch, it’s essential to listen and understand each client’s wishes. From there, I create one-of-a-kind tapestries inspired by nature, the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, the gardens of Roberto Burle Marx, the music of Maria Bethânia, Caetano Veloso, and David Bowie, the powerful harmonies of Freddie Mercury, and even the sharp critiques of Banksy.
