🇺🇸 THE EYES OF THE EMPIRE ⚠️
We're living in crazy times. From a pattern of positive growth and stability, we moved to a set of caos, lies and uncertainty. Values that always felt right are now being challenged and a future that seemed great is filled with haze.
My creative practice really moved around on the last years. I accepted that bringing all my influences to my creative soup was the only reliable way to keep doing things.
Graphic design has shaped my mind and process and I love it. Mural painting brought me new tools and a purpose that sparks my will to get more things to be done.
Among these, I am deeply rooted on graffiti and it always felt impossible for me to let my love for letters go away, even though, simply chasing a classic lettering approach was not really full filling.
This is a creative concept.
Maybe I'll paint on a wall, maybe I'll paint it on canvas.
Maybe I'll turn it into a print. Maybe I'll leave it.
Who knows?

This is a commissioned project for a public space installation that unfortunately didn't come to reality. At least until now.

É espetáculo.
É mais um dia.
É lá com eles.
É assim.
É a guerra.
É normal.
É genocídio.

It’s a show.
It's another day.
It’s over there.
It's how it is.
It’s war.
It’s normal.
It’s genocide.

My piece at last weekend's street art festival in Ede, Netherlands 🇳🇱 It was amazing to be among dozens of talented artists from so many different places, learning and sharing experiences. Was also inspiring to see how @astrant_ede makes so much for their community. Big thanks to @xander_van_soelen@simian_switch , all the volunteers and all the people I met there.
🏛️ LISBOA CULTURA 🧠 Foi fantástico transformar o pátio de entrada dos Serviços Culturais da @camara_municipal_lisboa de quem sou muito fã, pela qualidade e cuidado que colocam no seu trabalho em prol da arte e da cultura e cuja simpatia pude comprovar de perto. Muito obrigado à equipa da @galeria_de_arte_urbana pelo convite, à @jopinto.tintas pelo apoio e aos meus assistentes @f.avgvstvs e @messjess___ pela grande ajuda. 📸@brunoscunha
