| Since childhood , I think that I was around six years old , I discovered on a ride with my mother in downtown Sao Paulo a sculpture that made me stop and simply gaze without blinking , commenting " Wow, that is so beautiful mother " And she responded without saying anything , and just stood there looking too. At that moment I felt a change within me, I found what I wanted to be ... I hold this decision until today, and I am completely secure with it. |

| At that moment , without thinking, because it already was clear to me I said to my mother, who was already pulling me , to continue the tour, "Mom , this is what im going to be when I grow up " She answered without thinking It's crazy girl. This thing can that you can not understand ? All that remained was this ... " And so ... There was nothing up until today that has made me change my mind, even now , seeing the struggle and the difficulties of being an artist in Brazil. I began playing with noodles , clay, finally ... even soap to wash clothes In this research I discovered the name of the artist who fascinated me in childhood .. Caciporé Torres. Wow, I have followed all your work, every piece one by one! |
