Hello!
My name is Constança Araújo Amador (a.k.a. aConstança) and I'm from Portugal 🇵🇹
I illustrate poetry —sometimes others’,
sometimes my own.
I am a visual artist with a focus on research in the intersection of poetry and illustration.
I am currently pursuing a PhD with a research grant from FCT at i2ADS, University of Porto (FBAUP).
I have published six illustrated books and contributed to various poetry illustration collaborations.
I participate in exhibitions in galleries and poetry events.
I hold a Master's degree in Illustration and Animation, a postgraduate degree in Cultural Management and a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts - Painting (FBAUP). I also attended the integrated Master's in Painting at AVU (Prague, Czech Republic).
Alongside my artistic practice, I teach Drawing at ESMAD and offer Illustration courses at University of Porto (FBAUP).
I also run participatory poetry illustration workshops.
