Withered and dried flowers drawings represent the decline of life.I create compositions by enlarging and modelling shapes. The movement of the trace conveys the action in time. The red, powerful and invigorating colour, contrasts the theme of the series. Associated with the use of flat shapes and volume, achieved by the light and shadow drawing, it creates tensions that give strength to the final work.

Series of miniature etchings that depict corals and the sea floor. Corals are invertebrate animals that play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the oceans. In these drawings, I aimed to capture a wide range of shapes and movements through an expressive drawing style.

Biography
Vera Almeida is a contemporary graphic designer, artist, and printmaker based in Lisbon. Her work is deeply inspired by nature, leading her to explore various shapes, dynamics, and meanings within the natural world. Fascinated by this environment, Almeida focuses on natural history illustration, utilizing traditional media such as graphite, colored pencils, pen-and-ink, watercolor, and acrylics to bring her visions to life.
Currently, Almeida is delving into the potentialities and challenges of printmaking, particularly in intaglio processes, including etching, aquatint, and drypoint. Through this exploration, she aims to give voice to the creative potential of the medium, further enriching her artistic practice and expanding her creative expression.

Reviews and comments
Très belle oeuvre marine , félicitations pour cette superbe réalisation !
Teško je doći do ovako jednostavnog riješenje! Impresivno djelo!
It's hard to come up with such a simple solution! Impressive work!
Une œuvre remarquable d’une grande finesse et élégance, un grand sens du détail, de la perfection. Une œuvre que j’admire pour ses grandes qualités. Un petit chef-d’œuvre.
Bravo pour votre gesture qui traduit si bien cette tempête !
In a world being invaded by AI what a relief to find a real artist. I have the honour to own several art works by Vera Almeida. I have also gifted some to close friends.
