Ana is a renowned Portuguese illustrator and ceramic artist. She has a particular love for colour, bold shapes, quirky characters and, above all, having fun. Since 2012, she has dedicated her time to illustration commissions and to developing printed editions, illustrated goodies and ceramic pieces, which she sells in her shop in Porto.
She began working with clay in 2018 at a ceramics studio in Porto, and it was a unique experience from the very first day.

“I felt at home, using my hands to shape a material that was new to me, but with which I immediately felt an intuitive connection.”

“Bold colours have always been a defining feature of my illustration work, and from my earliest experiments with ceramics, I looked for materials that would retain that intensity after firing. When I discovered Graffito’s engobes, I realised I had found the solution: a range of vibrant colours that allowed me to create pieces consistent with my visual identity.”

“From then on, I also began testing and adapting other raw materials from the brand, including body clays and glazes.”

“Today, Graffito is the main reference point in my studio and the brand I recommend to colleagues and students. I trust the quality and compatibility of the materials, and I know I can always rely on friendly, personal service, whether in the physical shop or online.”

“Over time, we have built a close and collaborative relationship. It gives me peace of mind to know that we share the same commitment to achieving the right colours, selecting the right body clay and ensuring the stability of the glazes.”

“This allows me to create without limitations and gradually grow my small business.” 💖
