In an exclusive interview with Daniela Santos, from NiT Braga, the photographer and writer Thomàz Mazzei opens up about the journey that transformed his life — from surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident in the United States to rebuilding his path through art, spirituality, and writing.
The conversation explores Thomàz’s personal transformation after the 2023 accident that left him with multiple fractures and permanent physical limitations. What could have been an ending became a new beginning: through literature, he found healing and purpose.
In the interview, he reflects on his debut novel, O Príncipe Sombrio: Entre Deuses e Mortais, a mystical narrative that intertwines Egyptian mythology with spiritual rebirth, and his most recent work, Beneath the Dark City, a raw and introspective urban fiction inspired by his own near-death experience.
His testimony is one of strength, art, and transcendence — a reminder that creation can emerge from even the darkest moments.
