Illustration

Olga Cardoso Pinto

Passionate about drawing and realistic & fanciful illustration, Olga, Portuguese born in Angola, dedicates herself daily to projects that give body and color to texts and ideas, whether in books, advertising or portraits in composition. She graduated in Fashion Design, a profession to which she dedicated herself for years and which gave her the ability to see beyond simply dressing and adorning the human body. Olga loves to interpret elements and compositions with Nature and symbolism.

The artist shares her passions on her blog A Cor da Escrita, which are revealed in short stories, poems and fiction writing, accompanied by illustrations of his own. In 2020, she participated in both editions (May and December special) at the Illustrators Virtual Wall of Bologna Children's Book Fair. Occasionally participates in exhibitions and written and illustrated projects.

From Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Most of the inspiration comes from music, literature, animation and photography, as well as various imaginations. I hope to draw a feeling of freedom, tranquility and peace through soft and delicate brushstrokes, portray a unique world full of imagination and perception, and take the viewer to farther places.

I have always been inspired by the natural world around me, preferring to work from life where possible, sketching outdoors whenever I can. Some of my work is commissioned for jigsaws, posters and wall murals. These pieces require more work and many sketches are made before I am happy with a design. Only then will I start the final painting. I mostly use acrylics at the moment, but remain very fond of watercolour (especially for botanical work).

One of my many favourite artists is Albrecht Dürer and I have always loved the work of the PreRaphaelites. Having made many paintings of dinosaurs for some of my commercial work, I have become a fan of the paleo artists Julius Csotonyi and Raul Martin, who have become a great inspiration to me.

Though I am comfortable working within a range of themes, animals and wildlife are an especially strong focus for much of my work, as well as a personal fascination of mine; I love learning about the animals I draw through both research and real-life observation, and capturing their liveliness and behaviour in my illustrations as I see them. I particularly love creating animal characters, and enjoy the challenge of portraying more anthropomorphic features and expressions in an animal form in a way that still feels natural and believable for that creature.

I work mainly with watercolours, glass pen and ink, often manipulating my drawings digitally with my own hand-painted scanned textures to create interesting, multi-layered effects. I aim to produce work that is expressive, engaging and characterful, and to spark appreciation and interest for the many creature subjects that I draw.
