Urban beauty is not my favourite. I prefer the beauty of nature. But it has its charm, in some contexts. Architecture, both exterior and interior, reveals pieces of history, and in Brazil, it is quite common to find signs of history in the interior architecture of residences, such as the type of tile in the bathrooms, whether or not they have soaking tubs, the size of the rooms... I'm fascinated by this.
Urban scenes began to inspire me as a teenager, as I imagined photographing fashion editorials in environments very different from those in which people would normally wear those clothes.
I don't believe much in astrology, but an Aquarian characteristic that I have is that I like the contrasts between the ancient and the avant-garde. One of the apartments I lived in in Porto Alegre was very old, it had a huge bathroom, with a bathtub. It was a dark and poorly maintained property, but, if renovated, it would be a precious jewel in a very pleasant location. I'm fascinated by spaces like this, even though I prefer a hot tub to a soaking tub. I like the breadth of old properties, duplex lofts and luxury properties that are truly luxury. Of course, there are companies that try to gourmetise the ingourmetisable, like those that call tiny studios and kitnets lofts.
I am made of contrasts.
