GONÇALO
VIANA
PORTUGAL
Gonçalo was born in Lisbon (Portugal), a retro European town
famed for its bright light and custard tarts. Studied architecture
and moved to London (England), where he worked at a practice
for a few years. Illustration had always been his first love though,
and back to Lisbon he left architecture and soon started as a
freelance illustrator. Geometry did find a way to seep back in,
providing a framework for his concepts, strong colors and
textures.
Gonçalo likes nothing more than to translate complex ideas into
simple and engaging images. He has over 10 years experience in
editorial and advertising illustration. He also loves to illustrate
children’s books.
