The talented young girl
Buiar’s story starts in Maringá, a lovely city in Paraná, Brazil, where her mother’s unfulfilled dreams sparked Priscila’s journey. In a family where ambitions were set aside for more traditional roles, Buiar’s mother wanted to give her daughters a different future. Her mother encouraged Priscila, who was just nine years old, to take part in a modeling talent search organized by a local agency.

This early experience in modeling was paired with an interest in amateur theater, which her mother suggested to help Priscila overcome her shyness. By the age of ten, Priscila had already begun building her modeling portfolio, traveling to São Paulo, and joining well-known child modeling agencies. What started as a fun activity soon turned into a serious career.

Studying acting
Even though Buiar found early success in modeling, her true passion was acting. At fifteen, she faced the tough standards of the fashion industry but found a new path when a film director offered her a role in her first short film, The Girl from the Bookstore.

Her love for acting pushed her to study performing arts. At seventeen, she made a big decision to enroll in a Design and Performing Arts program. With her mother’s support, Buiar chose acting over design and graduated with honors in 2014 from the State University of Londrina.

Her dedication to acting soon paid off with roles in theater productions such as Hamlet Essential and Sinfonia da Morte, along with important roles in short films and on television.
