- About Creator: From the Vitalino School, this Pernambucan from São Caetano is the rebel, the one who dares to go beyond the master, producing ceramics that stand out from the other artists in Alto do Moura, where he chose to live after quitting his job at Caruaru City Hall. About him, Frota (2005) observes: "He always lived in poverty, being forced, in some periods, to perform services of various kinds in order to survive and manage to remain in art."
