Bárbara Lopes

I'm an illustrator and designer from the outskirts of Lisbon. I've worked as a freelancer for 5 years now, doing all sorts of graphic jobs, from illustrating children's books and magazines, to window decorating and restaurant menus. As for me, I like to paint omnious portraits, make my own zines and comics. I feel the narrative part of my work gives meaning to its form. My weapons of choise are ink and watercolor and I mostly explore mystic imagery, mythology, symbolism and different perspectives on life. I like to hangout and travel, but I'm mostly an introvert. I enjoy learning about every sort of thing, really - I like knowing stuff and spilling out weird radom facts at unsuspecting people. I like Art Noveau, I like good movies and I like a glass of wine. Ok - two glasses.
