About
Margarida Nobre is a Portuguese abstract artist based in Lisbon, Portugal, working under the name Margarida Atelier. Her original paintings on canvas and paper explore nature-inspired abstraction in acrylic and mixed media, with each piece unique, signed, and available to collectors worldwide. Alongside her painting practice, she creates hand-painted luxury silk scarves, extending the same colour language from canvas to wearable art.
Margarida also accepts custom art commissions for private collectors, interior designers, and hospitality projects. Her work has been featured in Observador, NiT, and Gerador, and is available through her studio at margaridaatelier.com.
This personal journey began in 2017, while I was completing my thesis at Design School and felt a deep need to express myself. That’s when I created this project, which has been an essential part of me ever since. As a Portuguese artist, my artistic approach thrives on experimentation, a fusion of diverse materials and techniques that allows for a natural and unrestricted flow. Amid this exploration, there is always an underlying structure or rhythm, guided by a concept, most often inspired by the forms and colors found in nature.
My paintings strike a balance between creative spontaneity and thoughtful design, weaving vibrant palettes and organic forms into every piece.
Beyond painting, I work as a designer in a tech company, where my work is guided by purpose and problem-solving. In contrast, this project is where my soul speaks freely. What I love most, whether as a designer or as an artist, is losing myself in the act of creation, fully immersing in color, form, and expression.
Made with care.
Each of my paintings is carefully crafted, inspired by the beauty and complexity of the natural world. My work captures unique aspects of our environment, from sweeping landscapes and seascapes to intricate botanical details. Broad, flowing strokes convey the movement of wind and water, while delicate brushwork highlights the patterns and textures of plants and flowers.
Through my nature-inspired art, I aim to create a sense of energy and vitality, where colors and forms blend harmoniously, inviting viewers to experience both movement and serenity.
