António Soares graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Porto and realised at a young age that drawing would be the basis of his entire creative process. He then joined the CITEX team and began his career in fashion illustration. He illustrated creations by national designers such as Alexandra Moura, Luís Buchinho, Nuno Baltazar, Nuno Gama and Luís Onofre, and worked directly with Chanel, Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld. Romanticism underlies all his work.
