Ricardo Bessa was born in Penafiel, Portugal, in 1989, and spent the first thirteen years of his life confidently announcing to everyone that he would one day be a veterinarian. After studying Art & Multimedia at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, Bessa earned his MA in Illustration at Kingston University, and is now pretty certain he doesn't want to be a vet.

Ricardo Bessa is a Portugal based artist, where he draws some amazing graphic illustrations. His work is flexible from erotica to lonley Hopper-esque night scenes.
