The Ambivert: This work was created for an article by Raquel Raimundo on ambiversion for Editorial Drawing course (MFA in Drawing at FBAUL). The idea is about a character who is both introverted and extroverted — with her colorful hair, floral shapes and plain dress, she stands calm through color and colorful through darkness, showing a way with a golden flower.

Blackbird: This illustration is inspired by Blackbird by The Beatles, a song often interpreted as a metaphor for people striving for equality during the civil rights movement in the United States. The vibrant colors beneath the bird’s wings celebrate the beauty and strength found in diversity. Created during the Editorial Drawing course, as part of the MFA in Drawing program at FBAUL.

Mental Health Awareness Month: Creativity is often intertwined with mental health — it can both illuminate and complicate our inner worlds. These illustrations were created as a personal reflection on those moments of darkness and clarity, as part of Mental Health Awareness Month 2019.

The Victim: The illustration depicts a moment of vulnerability, with a mysterious hand reaching towards a girl wearing a hat. In my mind, the hand was trying to steal her hat... The concept later became a starting point for developing The Searcher. Created during the Editorial Drawing course, as part of the MFA in Drawing program at FBAUL.
