About the artist:

Verónica Valdayo is a Portuguese artist living and working in Europe’s surfing capital Ericeira on the western coast of Portugal. 

Her work is focused in traditional bookbinding, but for the past few years she has been combining graphic design in her works.

Verónica found out about bookbinding while she was studying "Conservation of Art" because she was getting specialized in paper material and books. She really felt that bookbinding would be her passion.

After some time she decided to study graphic design to create different products and to show that is possible to combine traditional works with modern techniques. Everything is produced in her small atelier using materials that she usually buys when she’s traveling.
