A World Within

In a world of constant movement and stress I spent 7 months working endlessly on my first book "A World Within" not only to heal myself but the world through my art.

The backstory behind the book

Hello, I'm Ariana 

In a state of panic, I left my nice cushy american job living in Hawaii as a graphic designer, and moved to Portugal alone to find myself and slow down.

It was a story that was birthed in 2020 in a time where everyone had a feeling of hopelessness.

 

Finally in 2025 I took the time to write and illustrate this book.

About the Book

A World Within follows a young girl who, after losing her beloved grandmother, drifts into a magical dream world with her loyal dog. Together, they wander through surreal landscapes of light and shadow; guided by memory, love, and wonder.

Each page pairs a vibrant illustration with a poem, creating a reading experience that is both imaginative and healing. Inspired by my connection to my grandmother and my years of solo travel, this book is a story of resilience, love, and the timeless bond between generations.
