Mariana Aldesou

Hi, I’m Mariana Aldesou from Porto, Portugal. I hold a Painting degree from the Fine Arts School of Porto University, where I developed my skills in classical techniques and contemporary art forms. I’ve always loved to explore various artistic mediums, including textiles, analog photography, drawing, and stained glass, which enriches my creative approach.

As a freelancer, I work with private clients in tattooing and illustration, participate in collective exhibitions and art residencies, and since 2024, I’ve devoted myself to traditional frame-by-frame 2D animation. My passion lies in blending traditional art with modern animation techniques to bring unique stories to life.
