ABOUT THE ARTIST

About

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! Continue reading to find out a bit more about me, my inspiration and what I've been up to recently!

Amadora is an abstract and commission artist living and working in Sheffield, who creates bold and colourful mixed media pieces of art. Her expressive abstract style uses acrylic, spray paint and oil pastels to create layered and textured paintings, inspired by the external energy and vibrancy of the world around us. Alongside this external inspiration, Amadora also explores the inner workings of thoughts and emotions through her work, and aims to translate the complexities and dynamic nature of our inner world through colour. 

However, not all of her work lies within this abstract style, as she also enjoys creating more realistic paintings. In particular capturing night time city scenes from around Sheffield which can be found in the City Nights Fine Art Print Collection. Amadora’s work consists of these two styles as she loves the contrast of freedom and expression with abstract pieces, against the detail and narrative nature of realism. 

Amadora’s artistic journey began in lockdown 2020, where she started painting for the first time since school and began creating artwork for friends and family. Since then, she has created collections of original work which have been included in exhibitions, The Holy Art Fair in London, featured in House & Garden magazines, and stocked in local businesses around Sheffield. 

Alongside creating her own collections of work, Amadora also works on commission, creating bespoke original artwork which is tailored to her clients home. For more information on bespoke artwork and to start your commission journey, please see the commissions page in the menu.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO…

2023 was the year of many firsts! From creating my first collection of original artwork and fine art prints, to exhibiting my work in Sheffield and further afield- including my first exhibition in London at The Holy Art Fair. Alongside creating commissions in my usual style, I have also worked on more design based and digital commissions such as wedding invitations & stationary, t-shirt designs for an upcoming clothing brand in Sydney, as well as logo design and single cover digital artworks for a London-based musician!

Looking forward to 2024, I'm so excited to continue developing my abstract style and sharing more artwork with all of you. I'm also intrigued to keep experimenting with digital art- this is something I only started working with towards the end of last year however I was surprised how much I enjoyed this medium and looking forward to including this more regularly in my practice. Finally I hope to be involved in even more exhibitions and art fairs this year as I loved the social aspect of these events and being able to share my work with new people!

I will keep you updated along the way and thank you so much for being here - I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do creating it!

Love, Amadora x
