My cat tula Collage

Hi, my name is Ambar and I was born in Mozambique and at the age of 7 I came to Portugal with my parents where I live until now. Now I m living in a small village near the center of Portugal where I have a small studio and I dedicate myself to crafts and paintings. As far as I remember, I’ve always been interested in any kind of arts & crafts. Mainly self-taught, I do not miss the chance to attend as much workshops, either online or on-site as I can, being always in an ongoing training. It all started as a very little girl with a pencil and some scraps of paper, the insert papers from silk stockings my grandmother would bring home for me after a long day of work. Painting is great therapy, giving so much satisfaction, not only to the artist themselves but to those who view the work. I like to add a little something unusual of my works; little surprises that will not be seen at first glance. I knew at an early age, art would be a part of my life. I love to try, experiment and learn new techniques with paint, papers, fabric, textures and everything within reach. The experience of painting is a great escape from the complexities of life, and I always find myself creating an abstract scene of peacefulness, relaxation, and calmness.
