✿ BASED IN LISBON ✿ WORKING WORLDWIDE ✿ WALKING METAMORPHOSIS ✿ ALWAYS IN ORBIT ✿
Hey!
I'm Ana Neves, a curious spirit who believes in meaningful work and good conversations.
Born in the winter season of a tropical country, "blessed by the Gods and naturally beautiful", as Jorge Ben Jor sings. I'm a Brazilian Visual Artist, Creative Director, Producer, and Writer based in Lisbon since 2003, living a transatlantic creative life and building visual worlds.
Poetry, purpose, and sparkles of strategy mix to shape my craft. From branding for soulful businesses and NGOs to cultural projects with institutions like UNICEF and collaborations with musicians, filmmakers, artists and galleries.
Curiosity is my rhythm, learning is how I stay awake and my orbit looks like this:
✿ Mother of a curious little human to infinity and beyond! ✿ Designing and building a Casa Bottega for a creative family. ✿ Writing and designing The Curieuse Mag., a digital journal of design, memory and curiosity. ✿ Growing FÉH Natural, a future space for botanical wisdom, design, and care.
✿ Preparing a post-graduation application in Art Curatorship at NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities ✿ Researching a Master's application in Anthropology
✿ Freelancing with people, brands, and ideas I believe in.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, I love & help cultivate internal growth. Over the years, I’ve worked in different spaces and roles: ad agencies, artist studios, community projects, book production, mural painting, and creative direction.
Portuguese is my native language. English is my everyday work tool. The Spanish was honed by a Bolivian flatmate in my lifework days in São Paulo. French is sometimes used for art, poetry, love and some culinary skills.
Guided by my foundations and ancestry, I continue an exploration of Yoruba through art, literature and music.
Off couse, music is part of my process and DNA, explore my 2025 wip playlist and if you have one, send it my way!
And to add depth to a project, write carefully, conduct thorough research, create with intention, or simply enjoy a good conversation, text me.
Say Hey, Olá, Salut, or just send me a song & let’s connect! :)
