Vanessa Campos

I'm from Lisbon, Portugal. I have a scientific background and still work part-time as a pharmacist.

In my works, I use mixed techniques, mostly acrylic paint, collage, oil pastel and graphite.

For me, drawing is an ongoing personal process, focused on the moment of drawing, on the pleasure of the process and on self-improvement. I use drawing as a way of healing, to gain focus, organize thoughts and reach conclusions.

My work focuses on the analysis of emotions, creating pictures where feelings are materialised and frozen in time.

I studied painting at the National Society of Fine Arte in Lisbon and studied drawing for twelve years under the guidance of the portuguese artist Susana Chasse.
