The Age of Discovery – A Collection of Illustrated Scarves

This collection brings history to life with detailed illustrations, rich symbolism, and vibrant colors, turning silk into a storytelling canvas. Inspired by the Age of Discovery, each scarf explores a different part of this fascinating era:

Voyage to the Unknown – A bold design capturing the moment Portuguese caravels first arrived in Brazil, reflecting the spirit of exploration and the vast ocean they crossed.

The Journey Around the Globe– A dynamic repeat pattern filled with navigational tools, maps, and symbols from this period, creating a sense of travel and adventure.

Treasures of the World – A celebration of the goods brought to Europe, from spices, to plants and animals, woven into a rich and colorful composition that tells the story of cultural exchange.

Each piece showcases my ability to illustrate complex ideas for products, blending history, storytelling, and intricate design into something truly unique.
