Hi, I’m Catarina, but you can call me Bordowa — the hands (and heart) behind every tiny creature, painted jacket, and miniature scene you’ll find here.

I’ve always loved making things — the kind of joy that comes from turning “nothing” into “something” is hard to beat. Over the years, what started as playful curiosity became a way of connecting with others. Creating something by hand that brings someone else happiness? That’s pure magic to me.

I don’t stick to just one medium or style — I like exploring, mixing techniques, and seeing where inspiration takes me. One day I might be sculpting a pocket-sized dragon, the next painting a denim jacket with a whole forest on its back. Every piece is made to order, tailored to the person it’s for, and completely one-of-a-kind.

No shortcuts. No mass production. Just custom, heartfelt art for people who love magic in small things.
