With over a decade of active literary work behind me, my practice blends spoken word, bilingual literature, and sound performance with short stories and the novel. I explore the boundary between “histórias” and “estórias”—reviving this archaic Portuguese word to inhabit the space where the lived and the imagined merge.

Inhabited by heteronyms and alter egos that give voice to the visceral, the sacred, and the everyday, my artistic practice extends from the stage to the digital page. I place central importance on writing from a feminine perspective—the voice, the resilience, and the depth of lived experience—transforming literature into a space of sovereignty, resonance, and pure presence.

I give form and voice to the word so that it may fully occupy its place in the world.

📖 Literary Influences 

My writing exists within an ongoing dialogue with diverse literary voices, intersecting poetry, narrative, and thought.

In poetry, I resonate with authors such as Eugénio de Andrade, Natália Correia, and Herberto Helder, particularly for their sensory and imagetic intensity.

In narrative, I draw inspiration from Mia Couto, José Saramago, and Italo Calvino, for their creation of singular literary worlds.

Writing in the feminine finds resonance in authors such as Clarice Lispector, Florbela Espanca, and Virginia Woolf.

The philosophical dimension of writing connects me to Fernando Pessoa, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Matsuo Bashō.

🚧 Projects in Development 

My literary practice is in constant expansion, exploring new forms of expression and crossing writing with different artistic dimensions.

I am currently developing projects that integrate poetry, narrative, and performative experience, as well as initiatives focused on sharing and exploring writing as a space for creation and transformation.

At the same time, I am working on new works of fiction and authorial projects, deepening different voices and narrative universes.
