Nationality:
Portugal

She painted her ex-boyfriends as idiot zombies, doodled sarcastic messages on scraps of paper and became a huge Instagram phenomenon. Above all, Wasted Rita is a talented illustrator. Time and again, she succeeds in translating complex problems and situations into powerful sentences and drawings.

For one whole week, she was the Crystal Ship’s Artist in Residence in Ostend. She unleashed her cynicism and humour onto the city in two art projects. With traffic signs referring to solitude, white supremacy,… she gives us social criticism. Additionally, she covered a building with billboards, carrying funny messages.
