My name is Vanessa Teodoro and I'm an illustrator and street artist with background experience in advertising and graphic design. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa and I'm now based in Lisbon, Portugal.

I started out as an art director, working for 3 years in advertising agencies. The commercial world gave me an extra boost on how to handle self-promotion and sell my art. This was an important step in getting to where I am today.

The characters I create are born from my everyday life such as graffiti/street art, tattoos, african patterns and comic books. My paintings have adopted a strong language, funny and always have something to say.
I especially like painting strong female icons and witty colorful pieces with a lot of detail e movement.
