About IVOILUSTRA
IVOILUSTRA is the watercolour studio of Ivo, a surfer and painter who lives and works from a van converted into a studio, moving between the cliffs of Ericeira and Costa da Caparica in Portugal. His days start with a surf at dawn, and his loose, intuitive watercolours of surfers and waves are all about movement and flow.
Ivo forages minerals, clays, ochres and fossil charcoal from local cliffs and beaches to make his own paints. In 2025 he held solo exhibitions at the Atouguia da Baleia Museum and MaM Gallery in Ferrel, and showed work at the surf film festival in Peniche.
