Mónica Santos at Fresta

The professional who reads and writes about what’s new in the publications that hit the newsstands.

Say hello to Mónica Santos Translator and professional reader in real life: Here every now and then she’ll be writing about our zines, graphic novels and art books and presenting short notes on our curation.
Well, let’s let her introduce herself:

Hi there, I’m Mónica Santos, a 30-year-old woman from Lisbon. I translate for a living, but all I want to do is read and daydream. My expertise boils down to enjoying Art in all its forms while snacking.
I’m only here because I’m a friend of the owner, so have fun!

Mónica is a very busy person and may not be available. So if you want to talk to her: write to us on our social networks or email us. Thank you

FRESTA” in Portuguese is like a crack in the wall, a window that reveals the world of visual artists and illustrators. We value the importance of carefully selecting and presenting artworks and believe that print and paper are powerful tools for artistic expression.

In our newsstand and online store, you’ll find a variety of high-quality materials and prints. We work with micro publications, “zines,” serigraphy prints, linoleum prints, risography prints, and more. We value artistic expression in all its forms, and that’s why we carefully select each graphic project we offer.
