Hey There! I'm Gabriela, but you can call me iela. I'm a creative soul trying to make her way into the illustration world.

Biography

I'm an illustrator from Portugal, currently based in the breathtaking city of Lagos. I consider myself a versatile artist who enjoys experimenting with different techniques. Although I primarily work in digital illustration, I love challenging myself to explore more traditional techniques. I use Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator to create my art. After completing my degree in Graphic Design in Lisbon, I decided to pursue my passion for illustration. Since then, I have had the pleasure to illustrate “Mia e a Festa das Cores” by Adriana Pedro, and some other books that will be published soon. Currently I'm enrolled in a professional illustration course in Lisbon, further honing my skills and expanding my knowledge. Through my art, I hope to inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around us. Whether it's bringing stories to life through illustrations or creating artwork that educates and inspires. I am an artist who keeps pushing herself everyday to become a better illustrator.
