My name is Rita Silva, a Portuguese creative visual artist, based in Algarve, Portugal. I’m a Graphic Designer, Videographer and Illustrator.
As a child if there was a pen in my hand, every wall, floor and curtain would be newly decorated… until I discovered paper as another way to clear the endless exciting images blooming in my head. My dad was also very grateful for this discovery.
As I got older all of this led to a Graphic Design graduation degree at ESTGP, and a Drawing and Illustration degrees at Universidade Lusófona and FBAUL.
After working for different companies as an illustrator, 2D and 3D animator and video-games concept artist, decided to create an indie studio with a partner, where we created the invigorating puzzle game “Vizati”, which won numerous awards including 1º Prize at Microsoft XNA Pizza Night 2010. As part-time I would work as freelance graphic designer.
