While the world goes digital, one of my passions is to create engaging characters of depth within colourful scenes. I love to explore textures, fused with emotion all with a delightful sprinkling of a more familiar, traditional visual.

I love to bring whimsical stories to life with bright hues, contract and interesting compositions and angles.

    Girl Diving and Exploring Sea Bed Illustration
    A colourful illustration by Mariana Ponte featuring a girl diving and exploring the sea bed

    This sea bed illustration was inspired by my own childhood. I grew up in Ponta Delgada in the Azores, right on the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I’m a true island girl so the sea feels like home to me.

    In this illustration, I captured those long summer days where I would be in the water all day, playing and exploring. Find all kinds of cool looking animals and rocks and even lost objects.
