About Me

Hello and welcome to my little cozy corner of the internet! I’m Cláudia, a full-time illustrator based in Porto, Portugal. And this is my love-project: Aventurina 🍃

I love creating cozy, nature-inspired illustrations and products that hopefully bring a little calm, wonder, or a cozy feeling to anyone who sees them. Everything I make is crafted with a lot of care and love, and in the end, I just want my creations to pass on that same gentle warmth.

My favorite medium is watercolor, but I love experimenting with pencils, inks, pastels, and digital art too. I paint mostly with watercolor, bringing to life cozy scenes full of wild flowers, mushrooms, hidden cottages, and quiet woodland moments – all wrapped in that dreamy cottagecore aesthetic I adore.

Besides working full-time on new art and products for the store, I also host watercolor workshops in Porto (where we paint together in a relaxed, nature-inspired atmosphere) and love selling my pieces in person at art markets. I share my whole process through videos and reels, so you can peek behind the scenes anytime.

I have the sweetest companion: a fluffy kitty who often stares at me while I paint - you’ll probably spot a black-and-white floof in my videos – that’s Belinha ‪‪❤︎‬ !

It’s lovely to meet you. I hope you enjoy wandering through Aventurina, and I’d love to see you around on my socials or at a workshop someday while we yap and have fun! 🌿
