Amadora is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Sheffield, who specialises in portraiture, abstract and urban paintings inspired by her hometown of Sheffield. Her maximalist style and use of vivid colours aims to bring uplifting energy into a space, which is a core theme across her eclectic mix of work.
Working in acrylic, spray paint and oil pastels to create layered paintings, Amadora is inspired by the external energy and vibrancy of city life. Alongside this external inspiration, she also explores the inner workings of thoughts and emotions, and aims to translate the dynamic nature of our inner world through colour.
Merging portraiture with abstract elements is the current focus for Amadora’s work, with the blending of these two styles being driven by her fascination of the freedom of abstracts, against the detail and narrative nature of realism.
Amadora is a self-taught artist, with her artistic journey beginning in lockdown 2020. Since then, she is now represented by galleries in Sheffield and London, and her work has been exhibited across the UK. She has also featured as an Artist Spotlight in renowned House & Garden and Exposed Sheffield Magazines.
Amadora has recently won the 2025 Peak District Artisans Emerging Artist Award.
