- The encantados are not legends: they are experiences, they are tradition, they are visions of a people -

It is in the strength of the tides, in the crossroads and in the silence of the forests that still keep their secrets.

The journeys cross ancient paths, and the enchanted ones keep ancestral secrets of the forest.

These illustrations are a world inspired by Brasilian culture, enchantments and experiences of a people .

Boto - the Seducer "That mysterious man was like a mirage at the party, surrounding a woman in his arms in an enveloping dance and his seductive gaze they danced to the sound of a brega, but from one moment to the next, he disappeared into the sea, leaving only the echo of his mysterious and seductive presence."

Boiuna - the Big Snake "In the storm, the man in the boat prayed with his eyes closed, not knowing if he was hallucinating or if something was following him. The heat of the light on his back burned like two beacons, and the waves seemed to envelop the boat, as if something immense awaited him in the depths..."

Iara - The Mermaid's Song "Gal's song mingled with the sound of the current of that river where she bathed amidst the aura of mystery and enchantment that enveloped her. At that moment, the world around her seemed to fade away and those eyes called me ever closer..."

Caipora - The spirit of the forest

She ran through the forest, her laughter echoing like sparks in the night. Her flaming hair glowed against the shadows, illuminating the trees as if the dawn itself were running beside her.

Her golden eyes sparkled with mischief and mystery, for she was at once child and spirit, protector and mischievous. Wherever her feet touched, the forest awakened, birds stirred, leaves rustled, and beasts heeded her call.

Boitatá - The Fire Serpent " Its body shone, snaking through the darkness like a gigantic blaze of fire. Its eyes, burning like embers, fixed directly on that girl, making her heart freeze. Each scale of its scales seemed like a living flame that illuminated the forest..."
