A course by Isabela Quintes
Isabela Quintes is a Brazilian-born artist living in Barcelona, Spain. She studied Fashion Design in Brazil, where she developed professionally until she moved to Spain. The change of air motivated her to try new areas related to the Fine Arts and, in a self-taught way, she started to go deeper into drawing, painting, and watercolor illustration.
In a constant process of investigation and exploration, she translates reality and her imagination into her paintings. Her native country is her main source of inspiration, where there is an enormous wealth of tropical flowers and plants. Isabela’s botanical illustrations often have strong and vibrant colors. In addition to producing her works, she has created other projects, ranging from illustrations and patterns for notebooks and stationery to personalized wedding invitations.
