Nature-inspired painter & illustrator
I paint the stories we carry inside.
Hand-painted artwork for fine art, books and surface design. Each piece starts as a moment of attention in the forest, often with Shycap for company.

About the artist
“I'm Andreia Melo, and I paint the stories we carry inside.”
I'm a painter and illustrator in Portugal. In my work nature is a character, not a backdrop, and the images stay soft and bright even when they start from difficult places.
