My name is Ana and I was born in 1980 in Porto, the second largest city of Portugal.
As a Gemini, part of me has its feet on the ground and the other part wishes to have wings and fly.

Although my academic background is in architecture, I'm now deeply in love with contemporary jewelry and illustration.

I'm the one behind the brand {anapinatelier} where you can find unique handmade pieces, with a contemporary and feminine style, as well as original drawings that elect mixed techniques to create a very personal expressive universe.

I have a blog where I share moments of my life, my work and my many sources of inspiration. I love to write and here I combine writing and photography in posts about the city where I live, my travels, events or personal reflections. I'm also the curator of {the interview series}, a weekly interview featuring inspiring artists and bloggers, according to the spirit of handmade and a creative lifestyle.

I love:
* painting, sculpture, design, photography, crafts, literature, poetry, music, cinema, travelling *
* the color red, cats, chocolate, sushie, yoga *
* boots, sandals, rings, dresses *
* to visit flea markets *
* Paris and Barcelona *
* Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Frida Kahlo, Marc Chagall *
* Nick Cave, Arcade Fire, The Doors, Depeche Mode *
* José Saramago, Vergílio Ferreira, Fernando Pessoa, Florbela Espanca, Miguel Torga *

I hate:
* to be kept waiting *
* to feel deceived *
* lies and hypocrisy *
* peas and beans *
* to eat fast *
* to leave a book or movie unfinished *

In my photo galleries you'll find:
* my work: jewelry + artwork
* my home
* my cat Frida Kahlo
* recipes, books, art and other things that inspire me
* my blog series
* my city and other travels
* thematic and architectural files

I'll be happy to receive your comments and feedback, but, please, don't use my images without crediting. Thank you!
