Artist focused on drawing, based in Portugal.

Anabela Ferreira (b. 1996) is an artist living and working in Portugal. In 2024, she completed the Online Drawing Development Year at the Royal Drawing School, where she expanded her drawing practice through technical training, art history, and studio-based methodologies.

Her work is rooted in observational drawing as a means of both representing the world around her and constructing a personal visual language. She is particularly drawn to the idea of internal objects—their symbolic weight, emotional resonance, and the network of associations they carry.

Anabela holds a BA in Communication Design from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon and previously worked as a graphic designer. Alongside her studio practice, she shares her creative process on YouTube, where she documents her work and teaches art classes for all levels.
