Celestial Journeys

In a luminous new collaboration with Companhia das Letras’ Paralela imprint, Bárbara has been commissioned to create the cover for O Mapa dos Encontros, the debut novel by astrologer Isabella Mezzadri.

Set to launch on 10 June 2025 and already a top-five bestseller in its category during pre-order, the novel follows Alissa, a woman on the cusp of thirty whose life is seemingly perfect—until a Saturn return compels her to take a spontaneous trip to London. As Alissa navigates 20 days of soul-searching, astrology weaves through her path, leading to encounters she never anticipated—including with a persistent Spaniard.

Bárbara's artwork captures the book’s emotional layers with a poetic, contemporary sensibility.
