Illustration
Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Artist Development Fund recipient, 2021
Ina Gouveia is an illustrator and designer living in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Key themes of her illustrations are the interaction and relationships between diverse bodies and the relationship between body and place. As an illustrator, she has collaborated with clients including UNICEF and Vogue Brazil.
She hopes her project for Adobe Stock Artist Development Fund will help expand public awareness and understanding around ideas of gender equality and the construction of self-worth. She says, “As a Brazilian and bisexual woman, I live in a moment of great fear and difficulties in pursuing my dreams. Despite hostility and violence, I believe that representing our realities and the hopes of unity among minorities is a way of facing fear and opening up possibilities.”
