Camila Nogueira is a Portuguese digital artist, born and based in Porto. Trained in the visual arts, with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Design (Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto) and a master’s degree in Animation and Illustration, she decided in 2015 to devote herself to freelance illustration, drawing on a Wacom tablet. Her artistic universe blends real architecture with surrealist elements inspired by nature to create colorful worlds she would love to inhabit: landscapes, cities, and scenes bathed in golden light, with pastel hues accented by vivid pinks. Influenced by Franco-Belgian comics (Tintin, Asterix, Giraud/Moebius’s Blueberry), Japanese prints, 1990s cartoons, and the world of Studio Ghibli, she also draws inspiration from nature, trees, and animals. Through her artworks, Camila casts a dreamlike gaze upon life: while existence is a beautiful mystery punctuated by difficult moments, her visual narratives reveal its brighter side.
Over the years, she has developed commercial projects and collaborated with major international brands, while still making time for her personal artistic practice. Notably, she was invited by Sandeman to reinterpret the world of the Porto winehouse to complement a new, more modern and urban brand identity, and has also designed album covers. Her work has been featured in Creative Bloom.

It’s only when I spend time in Nature and “get away from it all” that the feeling of bliss washes over me. It helps me unplug, find clarity, and rejuvenate my mind.
Each color palette has a different mood to it, like different seasons or times of the day. I’ll leave that open to your interpretation.
