About  

'I would really love to be able to say that I always wanted to become an artist. That I can't remember a time when I wasn't drawing and that I have been drawing since before I can remember. But that's just not true. 

When I was a child I wanted to be a wildlife filmmaker and alternative medicine doctor in Asia, Africa + South America (winter season), a traditional farmer in the Alps (summer season), an astronaut (holiday season), and French Canadian. When I was 20, I studied political science and modern and contemporary history because I wanted to change the world. 
 
I am none of these things today but yet a bit of everything I always wanted to be. And. Much. More. (To. Come.)!

 
The reasons why and the ways how I did become an artist are quite unspectacular and simple. I like working with my hands. I am curious, passionate and not afraid of making mistakes. I want to keep on trying and learning new things. Creating is my way to understand feelings, people and life in general. It's is my hope, it's my Now, it's who I am and what I love.' 

Kheira Linder is a German visual artist and illustrator currently living, biking, working and loving in Southwest Portugal.

After studying fashion design in Munich she worked as a freelance illustrator in Berlin and Stockholm from where she moved to Lisbon when longing to and looking for how to learn to be in the present moment and living a more simple life. 

Asking questions, connecting people and connection with all kinds of beings, working on projects that have the power to change one's perception - and therefore life - to heal and to unite, always learning something new, having time and keeping an open soft heart mean the most to her. Kheira is constantly fascinated and inspired by (the lessons she learns from being in / with / part of) nature, resilience, light and shadows, (neuro)science, kindness, the universe, and encounters with strangers and friends.
