Art playing

A few months back when I was abroad without a computer I learned about Affinity Photo for iPad. I ended up buying the software for my desktop. However it didn’t stop there! ? While surfing their website I learned about Affinity Designer.

I always had a desire for digital drawing. I decided to have a go, to learn more about it. I’ve gotten the app for the iPad and I’ve been playing and having lots of fun! Amazing what I can do with it and it’s user interface are fabulous!

It looks like that from now on I’ll be mixing layer styles in my workflow from time to time. When I started thinking of this image, I wanted to have a very soft background. I then used intentional camera movement (ICM). What I would do with my composites? How I would add my elements blending well with the background? I tried painting and drawing. It looks like it is working well! The fox in the image was done in affinity designer and added to the photo in affinity photo. My first steps into this new world!

Being born in a third world country, Brazil, she experienced seeing lots of social inequality and this may have influenced her work. She is always in search for truthful and profound feelings.

Her work is a visual story book about real life or about the surreal.
