Inês Sousa Cardoso

I'm a dreamer and for me it is essential to travel because it allows me to create my imaginary worlds with diversity and cultural influences. Right now I've been obsessed with details, lines and see geometric forms everywhere. I love to represent the female body, its curves and bumps, nature and its colors, animals and colored buildings with crooked lines and stories. Always abstract and never real, both in black and white or color. My illustrations are all my emotions, dreams, thoughts and ideologies released for the paper and for all existing media with different materials.


"The best way to define inspiration is to regard it as a psychological state or moment in which the creator "improvise" the creative process, that is conscience and imagination conceived and feels he has the possibility to develop."
