A course by Fatinha Ramos
After more than a decade working as a designer and art director, Portuguese-born Fatinha Ramos decided to make her old dream of becoming a full-time illustrator her reality. Through conceptual images filled with unique textures and a touch of surrealism, she connects with her audience by creating pieces with a social message that explore themes such as global warming, racism, and sexism.
She has collaborated with big names including MoMA, Google, The New York Times, TIME, The Washington Post, Scientific American, and Amnesty International. Her work has also been recognized internationally by American Illustration, The Society of Illustrators NY, 3×3 Magazine, Communication Arts, World Illustrations Awards, Creative Quarterly, Global Illustration Awards, Cannes Lions, and more.
