I’m a portuguese comic book artist and illustrator with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts and a Master’s degree in Drawing. Over the years, I’ve won several comic art awards and published multiple books in the genre. I’ve also worked on storyboards for audiovisual projects, developing a precise and expressive approach to visual storytelling. In my work, I’m always exploring the power of images as a narrative language, balancing emotion, rhythm, and a strong visual identity.
