Description There are two types of people in this world. People who accept the state of mind, and people the ones that struggle against it. People who accept the state of mind, accept it because they have no power to fight against it, because they will not let go of the comfort of what they know, because it is they who create this state of mind or because they have not opened their eyes to it . As if they woke up everyday disconnected, forgotten that they are free. Free in thought, in their world view, with eyes that see, free in the perception of sounds and noises around them and the words they choose to expel from their minds. Some forget that they are the ones that build and reinforce this state of mind. They get used to live in the numbness of what they claim to be their normality, in their comfort zone, in their cocoon. The other people, the ones that struggle against the state of mind, fight knowing that there is something beyond that, because they want something more, something deep and inherent to human beings. They aspire the freedom of thinking, of seeing, of hearing and of speaking. Maybe even feeling. Those are the ones who woke up with the courage to face the discomfort and the unknown, always with the hope of, in the end, living such rewarding peace of mind and of heart.

Artist Statement Hi! My name is Diogo Veríssimo. I’m a designer & illustrator from Portugal.

I consider myself an avid daydreamer and it is my goal to give life to the strange creatures, concepts and odd worlds that keep populating my imagination.

I love to try new things and always seek to learn and work in several areas, including Photoshop, traditional drawing, mixed media, vector art, etc.

I plan to enter, somewhere in the future, in the magic world of the children’s books illustrations and maybe in the amazing world of animation.
