Hey! I'm Francisca Nunes
I'm the Creator and founder of the Flowers Magic Art Fest
I’m a mixed-media artist from Portugal, deeply inspired by the vibrant colors and textures found in nature. Through my art, I strive to help others unlock their creativity and build a deeper connection with the natural world.
As the creator of the Flowers Magic Art Fest, the most popular mixed-media summer event, I’ve had the honor of guiding over 8000 students through all my courses and festivals.
Whether through my online workshops or live events, my mission is to empower artists of all levels to explore their creative potential and create meaningful, nature-inspired art.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
THE STORY BEHIND THE FLOWERS MAGIC ART FEST
It all started six years ago with a simple idea: sharing the magic of flowers through art. I launched a small course on eco-printing for art journals — and it bloomed.
The next year, I invited two artsy friends to join. Then came a 20-day challenge with six artists and hundreds of creatives making flower-filled journals together.
Two summers ago, inspired by Portugal’s vibrant music festivals, I turned it into the Flowers Magic Art Fest — a celebration of nature, creativity, and community.
Now, in its 6th edition, the Fest returns wilder, bolder, and more inspiring than ever.
This year is the Wild Edition — and we have so many surprises waiting for you!
