Want to learn a little about me?

Lets see..

My name is Rafaela Barbosa Graça Canhão Veloso (what a mouthful!) but people simply call me Rafa! I was born and raised in Portugal, and moved to live in Wales about a decade ago.

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but it was in highschool when I decided I wanted to become a professional artist and animator.

I will be soon finishing my 3rd year in BA (Hons) 2D Animation at Stop-Motion at the University of South Wales and look forward to what's ahead of me with excitement to put my new and improved skills to work in future projects!

​

In my own time I enjoy listening to music, games, movies, books, having refreshing walks and immersing myself into my artwork - that heavily influenced by pop-culture. 

I am a huge sucker for horror, paranormal, and dark genre of different media, and I will usually include these themes in my work as you may find!  I regularly experiment with different mediums from traditional to digital. 

One of my biggest strengths are adapting to different art-styles quickly.

​

While I absolutely enjoy seeing my work come to life through animation, making people smile and awaken their emotions through my art is what matters to me the most.

 I hope i can do the same for you!
