Yesterday, I took a photo of my little tea moment at home. It felt too sweet not to capture... A simple tea moment became the sweetest inspiration for this gouache piece. Flowers, coziness, and quiet mornings. 🫖🌼🤎
What’s something small that inspired you lately?

Ilustradores que ficam na dúvida se produzem conteúdo em Inglês ou em Português, vamos conversar? Como tem sido para vocês? Como tomaram a decisão de escrever em uma determinada língua? O que aprenderam com isso? Tantas perguntas…não é possível que só eu sofro com essa indecisão!

Personal project: a hypothetical New Yorker cover inspired by the Golden Hour in NYC. It’s my favorite time of day, yet it often brings a quiet sense of anxiety. Maybe the answer is to pause and take in the beauty of the moment. What does the Golden Hour make you feel?

Another personal project is done! This time, I illustrated a text about the connection between femininity and the wild instinct. I used watercolor and colored pencils to bring delicacy and fluidity to the scene. What do you feel when looking at it? 🍃✨

Another personal project: a proposed illustration for a magazine article on genetic markers and cardiovascular risk. It was challenging to illustrate such a technical subject, but I aimed to stay true to my style while making the concept visually engaging. 😊

Personal project: an editorial illustration study inspired by an article in Donna Moderna. The concept represents breaking free from the illusion that age defines our limits—transformation is always possible. #illustration #editorialillustration #bookcoverart
The good thing about carrying pencils everywhere is that when you’re waiting for your friends to arrive, you can sketch, and time flies 20x faster. 🍄‍🟫
