Portuguese illustrator and graphic designer Claudia, born in Braga, Portugal, but who has lived in Italy for a long time, is well known in the field because she stands out thanks to her straightforward and very funny works. Known on Instagram as Shut Up Claudia, she has always dedicated herself to illustration since she was a child, transforming her passion into her full-time job.
To realize her projects she takes a lot of inspiration from artists in the field and, in particular, from Joan Cornellà and André da Loba.
In her illustrations Claudia deals with the theme of sex in an amusing and apparently very light way, trying to break down all kinds of taboos, especially for the female genre. Thanks to her works, she brings a breath of fresh air and an alternative point of view to the discussion of topics difficult to deal with on female sexuality.

The technique used by Claudia for her illustrations consists of drawing and painting by hand what she wants to represent and, later, she uses Photoshop to modify and improve it.
Her choice of colors varies, although most of the drawings are characterized by a black outline with colored details, used to give proper weight and a certain type of meaning to the entire work.
Shut Up Claudia defines her style a bit like a hybrid, a cross between naive and soft porn and thanks to her skills she has participated in several projects also collaborating with the Solo Show in Milan where she curated the exhibition participating with about 25 works. The artist also plans to work in the world of publishing so as to bring her style of illustration in the world of books and magazines.
