I’m Rita Isabel Vilhena, a Multimedia Designer, Artist, and Creative Photographer working under the names Rita Isabel and Rita Vilhena. My creative work lives at the intersection of emotion, philosophy, and visual storytelling, where art isn’t just seen, it’s deeply felt. Through photography, digital art, and multimedia design, I build visual narratives that explore themes like heartbreak, grief, identity, decay, and personal transformation. I’m passionate about creating work that evokes emotional depth and invites reflection, whether through surreal self-portraits, fashion editorials, or expressive visual essays. I speak openly about mental health, especially my own experience living with borderline personality disorder. My art is a space where I process intense emotions and give voice to what often goes unspoken. Vulnerability, healing, and emotional honesty are at the core of everything I create. Influenced by psychology, surrealism, Japanese aesthetics, and Portuguese heritage, I combine symbolism, emotional theory, and cultural elements into striking, meaningful visuals. I’ve been internationally awarded for my photography and am currently completing studies in Development of Multimedia Products. With a love for storytelling, fashion, and creative experimentation, I bring a unique voice to every project, turning inner experiences into powerful visual worlds.
