“Funky ceramics.”

Since childhood, she has been passionate about the arts. She spent many of her days painting and creating clay sculptures. Even today, his grandmother Cristina shows him the many drawings and letters that she made for her and my grandfather Zé Luis. Then came the design course, which gave her other benefits, but which took me more into the digital world, taking her away from the manual for a few years.​

In 2019, when she started to realize what was really important to her and left her work from 9 to 5, she started by doing a ceramics workshop to reconnect with the manual and since then she hasn't stopped. Since that time she has seen that pottery gives her the freedom of creation that she loved.

She is inspired by nature, feelings and human relationships, both in the forms she gives or allows the pieces to take on, as well as in the textures and materials he uses. Cork, cotton, natural beach sand, are some of the materials she uses, but she is always looking for new challenges. Ceramics is an infinite world of possibilities and therefore it is always developing new techniques and perfecting itself. She likes to combine ceramics with painting, always having color as a guiding principle. She claims that color is what defines the work of tê.pê.
