Bem vindo à loja XDT Studio!
Who am I and where I live...
My name is Joana and I am the artist behind Xdt Studio. I live in a small Olive Tree's farm in Serra Da Estrela mountains in Central Portugal with my family.
Since I was a child I enjoyed drawing and creating characters so when I grew up I went to study at an Art school and later I specialized in Graphic Design and Illustration.
Opening a shop on Etsy is one long time dream and I am so glad to be here now. My aim is to sell my illustrations (as prints, bookmarks, greeting cards and other items) as well as unique handmade decorative items made with local materials (available soon!).
I ship my parcels with all the love and care and handmade thank you notes and also little surprises whenever I can! :)
My shop is still a baby so please bear with me as I am slowly trying to add a larger variety of items for sale... Don't forget to "like" my shop to get updates of new listings!
What does XDT means? & My inspirations are...
XDT are initials for "xengo-delengo-tengo". The name of my first blog (2007). Is an expression from one of my favorite books that I read many times on my childhood - "Rosinha my canoe" from the brasilian author José Mauro de Vasconcelos. This "expression" has no meaning at all, but at the same time contains all the meanings in universe as, for me, it symbolizes the nature's language itself. This book for me is an ode to nature and reminds us that the simplest things of LIFE are the most important.
This feeling of deeply belonging to nature, the mountains, the flowers, the place where I live, and the love for the simple things are what realy inspires all my life and my art work.
