About keoshi.com

keoshi.com is a hand-coded web site created by myself, Filipe Varela, to showcase my previous work, concepts and ideas. Additionally, it contains a weblog section where I publish design and new-media reviews and opinions as well as my latest works.

I’m 23 years old and I was born in the UNESCO World Heritage city: Évora, Portugal.

I am a freelance graphic designer, web designer, web developer and photographer working under the artist name of keoshi. Just a name that I’m fond of and that became my nickname 5 years ago.

this is me

I started to work as a designer 6 years ago and in June, 2004 I registered keoshi.com with the purpose of creating a special place where I could show my work and share it with others.

Throughout this period I’ve been involved in many projects from print work to web development. To see what I've been doing check my Portfolio.

The author of keoshi.com has a profund love for Firefox and all this web site is best viewed using a modern browser, such as Firefox, Opera, Safari or IE7.

Artistical background

The big passion of my life is art. Any form of it.
I’m particularly attracted (and addicted, I must say) to design and photography.

Since an early age I demonstrated great interest in art, strongly influenced (and supported) by all my family - mainly my grandmother.
At the age of 8 I went to Teoartis, an art gallery in my hometown. At first it was a kid’s play but later it became serious business and offered me the possibility to explore my visual culture and artistics skills.
I remained there till the age of 18, period on which I won two Europe at Schools awards: two trips to youth art gatherings:

  • Bratislava, Slovakia - 2001
  • Inari, Finland - 2002 (photos)

The interest in design started to grow on me more and more and since 2003 I've been creating graphics and web pages for my clients.
