Born on 5 May 1972 in São Paulo Brasil, Flavio moved to Peru with his family on 1988 finishing his studies in Markham College in Lima. Afterwards, he studied Communications in the Lima University where he graduated on 1996.
 

He began painting as a little boy motivated by his family. At the beginning, he used acrylic painting and then turned to oil technique.
Flavio always demonstrated through his art an enormous interest for nature that grew more and more with great clarity and force in his paintings as well as within himself.

Even though he loved the ocean since his childhood, it is only when he was 12 years old that Flavio began a new phase in his life that marked him not only as an artist, but also as a human being.
It was through surfing that Flavio understood that nature was the source of his inspiration. Through his trips looking for the perfect waves and inhospitable beaches, Flavio found an incredible source of images, emotions and experiences that fed his senses, shown through his paintings.

Flavio's painting style is based in a mixture of hyperrealism with a surrealist composition, where we can observe how the surface world unifies with the submarine world. In this regard, the perfection and detailed representation of nature presents itself in a magic and illuminated environment, where light and color transparency give a paradisiacal touch to his paintings.
