About

Portrait of Beatriz Cottinelli

I am a Franco-Portuguese artist based in Lisbon, with a background in architecture and product design.

My artistic practice is rooted in drawing from observation, always with a sketchbook in hand. Drawing is my way of discovering and understanding places, taking the time to observe their architecture, landscapes and everyday life.

Since 2015, I have filled travel sketchbooks with drawings made on location, building a visual record of the places I have visited. Through these drawings, I document not only buildings and urban spaces, but also the details, encounters and moments that give each place its particular character.

I hold an Integrated Master's degree in Architecture from the University of Lisbon and a Master's degree in Product Design from Domus Academy in Milan. My experience in architecture and interior design has developed my sensitivity to space, proportion and materials, shaping the way I observe, interpret and represent the world around me.
