Description
Hello future friends!
My name is Madalena Bastos, and i'm from Portugal
I finished my degree at Graphic Design in 2015, after that it was work-travel-work-travel life.
First I went alone for Central America where I did diferente and diverse workaways since hostels, design work, school volunteer, wood work and my big passion, painting walls.
After that travel I come back as a new person and create my own brand (2018) which It stills running nowadays : Mariqosa 🦋 With my illustration, I create educative games, pedagogic books to kids, puzzles and other toys. I also make some theatre and animation work. Besides that I work as an Art teacher for all ages. It is being amazing and give me opportunity to travel wherever I want...
I travelled again in 2019 to work in a school in Tanzania which was magic. You can see some videos of my work there in my Instagram page (@amariqosa).
I want to share my happiness, my way of see the beautiful world that surround us and teach all that I can teach!
Help all that I can help!
Explore all that I can explore!
Show me new things and give some love, and I will do the same.
I love arts: Painting, children's illustration, dancing, clothing, big white walls waiting for me, design and crafts. I will go without my computer so prepare to use your hands!
I also love to know new people, new culture and new places. That’s why I’m traveling right?
I'm very excited to know you and all the things you have to show me! See you soon ;)Interests
