She digs into new ways to bring handcrafted textures, analog techniques and expressive styles into digital spaces.From her own words commenting on her work : “I believe 3D art is not just a tool for realism but a powerful medium for unique aesthetics and storytelling.”Born and raised in Florianópolis, a small island in the south of Brazil; she is now based in Luxembourg. You might have seen her work as a 3D artist, at the last Luxembourg Film Fest - at the Immersive Pavillion :@luxfilmfest , on Ito Meikyu (@fireflieslu ) and A walk into the afterlife (@doghouse_films )

"stillness matters

What Beatriz says about her work : "In retrospect, this project began a few years ago, not exactly as an idea, but more as a desire to represent a particular feeling. It was like a place I could sense, but couldn’t fully describe. Something between a memory and a dream.

Over the years, I tried to reach it through drawings, paintings, sculptures, and various other mediums. Stories began to form. Characters emerged. But I kept searching for a medium that could carry the full weight of what I was trying to say.

Now I realize this place is where my mind goes when I create. The feeling I was chasing brought me here, and gave me the time and patience to let this project grow.

Each element in this world is drawn by hand, then scanned and shaped into a 3D space. A landscape that lives between the imaginary and the real. Time moves differently here. Stillness matters. The act of observing becomes meaningful.

Each texture, each object carries the rhythm of handmade slowness. VR is not an escape. It’s a mirror. It bends time, holds attention, and makes space for quiet presence."
