Antonio Soares

Passionate fashion illustration
“I love the colours, the shades, the transparency – I think watercolour reflects my mood and love for my work.”
Training
António has a degree in Fine Arts - Painting from the University of Fine Arts, Porto.Approach
After researching his image, António begins with sketches of the face and then draws the clothing. After that, he finds the right match and brings the composition together. The image is finished off using watercolour.Style
The subtle, nuanced expressions on the faces of the models in António’s illustrations are offset by detailed representations of the garments, with strong use of colour. His images have something to say, and he looks for a sense of love and romance. This is what he believes drives the facial expressions in his work, and it’s what characterises it.Antonio Soares
