ABOUT
​
Hello! My name is Janaina Medeiros, I’m a Brazilian artist and freelance illustrator. I love to create whimsical artworks, inspired by fairy tales, folktales and myths, as they are old and mysterious stories that have sparked my imagination since childhood.
​
“Moons, stars and other esoteric symbols are elements present in her work, which are part of her aesthetic influenced by Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelites, and Japanese anime and manga." – Beautiful Bizarre, 2024.
​
You can find my art featured on books, comics, oracle decks and exhibited in art galleries.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio ♡
