Since 1999, de Barros has created visual poems that combine various disciplines: writing, designing and drawing, sound editing, and filmmaking (through the use of new media, Flash software).

Her work has appeared in art/poetry books and websites.〔("Adriana de Barros" ), ''Cloud King''〕 De Barros has been recognized for "(...) trying to make poetry more dynamic and accessible." 〔Ptasznik, Julia. ("Poetry in Motion" ), ''Visual Arts Trends'', April 2001.〕 Her creations exist as she states, "so that even someone who may dislike poetry can enjoy it visually." 〔 de Barros designs and illustrates at her own studio, Breathewords. And she is also founder and editor of ''Scene 360'', a not-for-profit, online film and arts magazine; since 2000, it has provided numerous insightful interviews and profiles of leading web designers, artists, and filmmakers. ==Biography== Born in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, de Barros moved to Toronto at the age of three.〔("Profile of Adriana de Barros" ), ''Scene 360'', 2001.〕 As a child she was mainly interested in sports; and only when she was twelve did she realize her interest in drawing.〔"Adriana de Barros - Poetry from Portugal, ''(H20 Magazine )'', March 2003.〕 At age fifteen, her family decided to move back to her birthplace,〔("Profile of Adriana de Barros" ) ''Scene 360'', 2001.〕 where de Barros faced cultural challenges with her education and lifestyle. In high school, she choose to study art and design, deciding to pursue cinema in college.
