Bárbara was born in Lisbon in 1988 and has been living in many different places since her adulthood. Always moving between countryside and the cities around Europe, Bárbara experienced many kinds of jobs, different studies, did a B.A in journalism and tried out photography but it was finally in drawing and illustration that she found her medium to tell stories. Most of her work is inspired by day to day topics, intimacy, solitude, fears, love and music. She is always keen to find out new ways of express herself through multiple perspectives and diversified techniques. Currently she is developing narrative works such as fanzines and artistic books.
