The poem establishes an intimate and relaxed dialogue with the rain, exploring the water cycle in nature (from raindrops to rivers, oceans, and clouds) and the welcoming relationship between childhood, poetic sensibility, and natural elements. I appreciate the opportunity; I loved illustrating and editing this project. illustrator photoshop indesign
A very special book, conceived by Luísa Antunes Paolineli and Violante Saramago Matos. Beijinhos is an interactive book about animals, which allows children to have audio contact (to which a QR Code is associated) with the various poems, with each one associated with a playful activity that aims to work on fundamental cognitive aspects that need to be developed at this age level. I appreciate the opportunity and the design that made the illustrations shine even brighter. watercolor photoshop indesign

The Wise Cat is a cat who knows almost everything. He has two friends, João and Luísa, who always have many questions. For this, they have magic glasses that help them understand their pet cat. The illustrations are created using the technique of cutting and sculpting paper, combined with drawings made by the girl Inês, under flexible and creative guidance. Subsequently, all elements were digitally integrated into the composition of the final illustrations, thus establishing a dialogue between the child's gesture, experimentation, and artistic construction. papercut photoshop indesign
The Weeping Seagull is a trilogy of books by Amélia Mendes, illustrated by me. The adventures tell the story of a seagull who has many dreams, difficult to achieve. But, with the help of her friends, she always manages to reach her goal and bring many emotions to everyone. The books explore the value of friendship, values of citizenship, and present many curiosities about the beings that inhabit the bottom of the sea, about the planets and the universe, and about the climate change crisis. illustrationpapercut photoshop indesign
