As the name / title suggests, the symbolism of the snake eating its own tail, this millennia in many cultures leads to rebirth, the new. From there, the magic act of eating up and spitting up, your job no longer disassociates the "art of life" and not the "music of the visual arts." His works gain structures and forms in videos, photographs, sculptures and especially in the materialization of his music, breaking a musical evolution from the abstract to the concrete, emerging into another level of existence represented by the 'OROBORO' circle.
Originally from music world, which began in 1996 - has played with big names in brazilian music as Sivuca, Hermeto Pascoal and Fernanda Abreu, among others, the artist came expanding in recent years to the visual career.

The exhibition 'Distortions' (Casa França Brazil, RJ, 2011) for example, is a sound installation consisting of several sculptures that can be rearranged and replaced by other parts in a process analogous to dynamic switching members in an orchestra. Presented a Volkswagen Beetle car as instrument playing its bodywork and engine in other facilities / performances, Siri replaces the skin of drums and the sound of wind instruments as tubas and trumpets condemned by age, by speakers. Thereafter, in a process that proposes raising the instruments, the artist is unique compositions for each piece, thus creating a sound basis for their performances.
