Graduated in Art History in Brazil, Ramile received an academic merit scholarship in 2010 to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. Since then, she has never stopped studying. Hailing from a Brazilian city surrounded by water, "Rio Grande," and from a lower-middle-class Brazilian family, she explores in her watercolors the relationship between waters (from technique to concept), through seas and oceans and architectural compositions (with a special focus on urban issues). She is currently finishing her second academic degree in architecture and urbanism at the University of Calabria and has found performance as a way to demonstrate live her inquiries and creative process.

Laureata in Storia dell'Arte in Brasile, Ramile ha ricevuto una borsa di studio per merito accademico nel 2010 per studiare arte all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, in Italia. Da allora non ha mai smesso di studiare. Proveniente da una città brasiliana circondata dall'acqua, "Rio Grande", e da una famiglia di classe media bassa brasiliana, esplora nelle sue acquarelle la relazione tra le acque (dalla tecnica al concetto), attraverso mari e oceani e composizioni architettoniche (con particolare attenzione alle questioni urbanistiche). Attualmente sta completando la sua seconda formazione accademica, in architettura e urbanistica, all'Università della Calabria e ha trovato nella performance un modo per dimostrare dal vivo i suoi questionamenti e il suo processo creativo.
