I’ve loved photography and storytelling for as long as I can remember. For decades, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing moments, people, and places through my lens — always guided by the desire to tell meaningful stories.
From 2019 to 2021, I lived a transformative chapter as a digital nomad, managing my business in Brazil remotely while traveling across continents and cultures. Along the way, I discovered how rare it was to find places that truly felt like home — spaces where people could connect deeply, stay inspired, and still have the focus needed to work and create.

Here’s what guest said about the experience:
🖌️ Leonardo Tupper — “You feel at home, surrounded by art and peace. It’s the perfect place for self-discovery.”
☀️ Lou Lemoine — “I came for photography, but I found a family. The river, the people, the connection — unforgettable.”
🌿 Maddalena Veltri — “Nature here isn’t a backdrop — it’s alive, it transforms you.”
🍲 Ambra Campanelli — “Every day brought something beautiful — yoga, art, laughter, and food made with love.
In 2022, together with my best friend, Victor Tavares, we founded StartArt Residency to bring our vision to life. Our goal was simple: to create a home for meaningful collaboration between creatives from all backgrounds.
Today, StartArt is more than an art residency and co-living — it’s a community shaped by curiosity, creativity, and the belief that meaningful experiences happen when people feel connected and inspired.
Whether you want to reflect, write, rest, or simply reconnect with yourself — this is your invitation to a transformatioal experience throw Art and Nature StartArt Residency.
