Begoña True
Born in Southafrica in 1970 of Spanish father and Southafrican mother descent from dutch. Grew up in Spain and currently lives in Portugal.
She started drawing from a very early age, almost since she was born, and paints since she was a teenager. And later in her thirties started illustrating children's books.
She uses watercolours or acrylic when she paints realism and magical realism or surrealism, and for the children's books illustrations she uses coloured pencils.
In the field of realism she paints city architecture, landscapes and animals, and portraits by commission.
In the scope of surrealism she paints magical landscapes and scenes that she imagines.
