Life itself transcends any explanation we might ever conceive. Just when you believe you've grasped its measure, something unforeseen emerges, shifting your perspective, challenging your assumptions, illuminating dimensions previously unknown. It is as if each stage of existence reveals another facet of an immense, intricate design. There is always more than meets the eye, more than current knowledge holds, more than words can capture or the mind fully comprehend. And the awareness of this depth changes everything.
At first glance, understanding may seem akin to possessing the definitive answer. Yet, true comprehension resides elsewhere: in the humble recognition that learning is endless, that perspectives evolve, and that every situation holds manifold interpretations. This realization fundamentally reshapes how you perceive the world. For life resists any attempt to reduce it to a single interpretation; it seeks to be much more vast.
The deeper you journey into understanding, the more you recognize the vastness that still awaits exploration. Words are tools that help articulate experience, yet they also draw boundaries around our perception. If a concept remains unnamed, how can the imagination fully embrace it? Without the language for it, how does an idea even begin to form in thought? And when thought is confined, the horizon of one's world inevitably narrows.
Herein lies a profound insight: many inhabit a smaller reality, not by deliberate choice, but because the possibility of 'more' was never unveiled to them. It is often not a reluctance to see, but an unawareness that other vantage points exist. This understanding transforms our view of limitation. Often, the constraints we feel are not external fetters, but the internal boundaries of the known. Consider the child unable to fathom the ocean's immensity, having never witnessed it, or the listener oblivious to music beyond their familiar sounds. If no glimpse of a broader world is offered, how can one possibly envision it independently?
This is why judgment surfaces so readily, why deeming another 'wrong' feels simple. The true challenge lies in seeking to understand the roots of their conviction. Yet, genuine transformation rarely springs from external command; it blossoms from within, ignited by personal discovery. And not everyone will embark on this path. Not everyone desires it. Therefore, wisdom lies in honoring your own journey, without shouldering the immense weight of altering the entire world. This is not a call to indifference, but an acceptance of the currents beyond your immediate influence. Release the burden of what cannot be changed in this moment.
Every soul unfolds according to its own intrinsic timing, uncovering truths precisely when ready to receive them. Perhaps, in the end, what matters most is not the relentless effort to change everything outside, but the conscious choice to live with integrity and intention, guided by the understanding you have cultivated along the way. Find your purpose. And keep going.

T i b e r i u s
"Expressing who I am, whether as an artist, scientist, or a constantly evolving human being, also means recognizing those who have shaped my journey, both directly and indirectly. Some of these influences come from distant times—brilliant minds who spanned centuries, their ideas resonating deeply in my quest for knowledge and harmony. Figures like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Kepler, and Nikola Tesla challenged the limits of human thought and continue to inspire me.
Other influential figures are imprinted on my own story, serving not only as references, but as fundamental pillars in my life. My mum, Ozelia, taught me the value of balance through her strength and sensitivity. My father by adoption, Levi Cosmo, protected and guided me through crucial moments with his constant presence, and my grandmother, Maria Andrade (Dona Mara), who provided me with quiet wisdom that shapes every step I take. My brother, César, shares bonds with me that transcend time, and my partner, Ana, is my safe haven and the wind that drives me forward."
Two Beacons on My Journey
​
Along this path of discovery, creation, and humanity, I was fortunate to meet two mentors who have touched my life in irrevocable ways.
​
Carlos Bracher, with his generous and artistic vision, taught me that art can be a bridge, a presence, and a purpose — guiding me toward a humanistic commitment to beauty and truth.
​
Dr. Ricardo Brafman, a master of listening and sound, awakened in me the inner ear of composition, revealing music as a living, historical substance — malleable and shaped by the deep act of listening to the world.
​
More than mentors, they are living testaments to generosity and devotion.
Their words have shaped me. Their presence runs through me.
And I am eternally grateful to have been touched by their voluntary, luminous souls.
Carlos Bracher
Pintor, Escultor e Escritor
"Pelo que eu posso compreender de vida e de arte, pelos meus 78 anos de vida, posso falar claramente que Tiberius é uma pérola humana, uma pérola divina e uma pérola artística"
Dr. Ricardo Brafman
Professor Dr. em composição musical
"A gente percebe que - por alguma razão - tem certas pessoas que não pensam "sobre" música. Elas pensam música! Eu comecei a notar isso em Tiberius (...) Ele compõe com naturalidade, mas gosta de estudar, refletir e crescer - o que ele também faz com naturalidade! Ele tem uma habilidade de moldar a música como se fosse um barro, uma substância, criando as formas/discursos que ele quer."
