I had the pleasure of attending the “Megatrends 2050” presentation today where I was awarded 3rd place for my illustration work in the “Young Creator Awards - Megatrends 2050”.

This illustration which is titled “what’s our path?” was made to communicate the various issues raised by the megatrends in this report.

This report was made by REPLAN with the help of PLANAPP which are agencies geared towards planning and prospective for the public sector in Portugal. It presents a series of megatrends that will affect the country and the world.

My work is on page 12 and it can be consulted here: https://www.planapp.gov.pt/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/REPLAN-RelatorioMegatendencias2050.pdf

I tried illustrating the 9 different megatrends which are:

.Diverging demographic trends

.New challenges to democracy

.Increasing pressure on natural resources

.Acceleration of technological development

.A multipolar world

.A more digital world

.Diversification and change in economic models

.A more urban world

.Worsening climate chang

I hope this report can help guide some of the public policies that will address the challenges we are facing now and will continue to face. As I mentioned today, in order to shape the future, we must foster culture. We need to cultivate an optimistic vision, one that society will want to build together.

♾️ "In Ansa, Acceptia finds herself in a mysterious otherworldly room, searching for her departed younger sister. She’s finally reached her at long last, right?"

I’m thrilled to finally share “Ansa”, an animated mini-short under Daniel Cuervo's LOOPMentorship program! These past few months working on this have been really special for me. I hope to share a bit more about the process soon.

A big round of gratitude to Daniel for guiding me through this and Chris for creating such a warm score !

One of the painting exercises of my room I did for Kat Tsai’s Color and Light class a few weeks back. Color has always been one of my main struggles and Kat’s amazing energy and thoughtful teaching approach is super inspiring, I can’t recommend her course enough!

A steam/smoke exercise I did for RTFX’s 2D FX course, I can’t recommend it enough. The teachers are very insightful and helpful one of the best learning experiences I’ve had thus far! I’ll be posting some other ones in the coming days
