Fatinha Ramos
Fatinha Ramos is an Antwerp-based illustrator and visual artist originally from Portugal. As a graphic designer she made her dream come true and started a career as a full-time illustrator. Ramos enjoys to work on different artistic projects and new challenges to give free space to her extraordinary imaginary world, differentiated by rich colours and poetic inspiration.
Her work has been internationally recognized through publications in high quality magazines and by many awards. She regularly exposes, solo as well as with group.
I hope to inspire people to make their dreams come true, just like I did. – Fatinha Ramos –
Fatinha Ramos uses mixes media, an artform in which she combines digital and analogical creative techniques. In this process she often applies Chinese ink, acrylic paint and oil painting. She loves to use warm colours and many of her figures have long hair as a symbol of the wind in Portuguese Aveiro.
