About me
My name is Ricardo Barbosa and I'm a 27-year-old professional car designer with a lifelong passion for cars, which I channel into the detailed illustrations I create. This journey began in 2018 as a simple hobby, but my love for automotive art quickly turned it into a growing business. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting custom car illustrations that reflect both my skills as a designer and my deep appreciation for all things automotive. Every piece I create is a testament to my passion and commitment to celebrating the beauty of cars.
I completed my degree in Mechanical Engineering at ISEP and followed it with a master’s in Automotive Design at ESAD, blending technical expertise with creative vision. My first car was a VW Beetle 1302S Convertible, which sparked my love for unique and character-filled vehicles. Today, I enjoy driving a Rover 200 BRM for its quirky charm, while my daily is a Lancia Y Elefantino Rosso, a nod to my appreciation for stylish, compact cars. Cars are more than transportation for me they’re an art form and a lifelong passion.
