Hello there, I'm Ana Aguiar! Crafted in Porto and now soaking up the creative vibes of Amsterdam, my art is all about capturing life’s little joys and the vibrancy of a child’s imagination. With a background in architecture, I love balancing methodical precision with the free-flowing creativity that motherhood has brought me. From brainstorming with word clouds to sketching first ideas on paper and letting them grow into colourful digital scenes, every step of my creative process feels like a new adventure.

My artwork has been shown at exhibitions like Expo Metro in Barcelona and Amsterdam, and I love sharing my creative experience at events like the Back2School Summit. Collaborating with Cucoo Kids on musical children’s books inspired by traditional songs was a particularly special project and a heartwarming journey. Clients appreciate my professionalism, feel for design, and knack for infusing my illustrations with a nostalgic yet exciting energy that invites exploration and connection. I thrive on playing with colour and composition while paying attention to the fun little details.

Driven by a lifelong passion for art and storytelling, I find inspiration in the simple pleasures of life and children’s wild ideas. Whether I'm exploring the outdoors with my daughter, immersing myself in different cultures for fresh perspectives, or releasing energy playing padel, my world keeps me curious about life and all its wonders. Described as fun, friendly, and endlessly curious, I bring a blend of professionalism and creativity to every project, always striving to create art that sparks connection, joy, and curiosity in both young minds and the young at heart.
