LOST, Point of View n.3 Currently on view at @gravecoletivo GRAVE 5 collective show at @ccc.caldas in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Point of View is a series of paintings that starts from words and questions how fixed their meaning really is. We choose words that tend to carry tension, words that shift with context, experience, and perspective. Instead of showing them clearly, we paint only fragments of them. While painting, we move away from the meaning of the word. The focus shifts to form, gesture, material, and surface. Brushstrokes, layers, and adjustments remain visible, allowing the painting to develop on its own terms. The word stays present, but unsettled. What remains is not a definition, but a word seen from a particular point of view. LOST, Point of View n.3, 2026

DAM GOOD WEEK We had an amazing time at @straatmuseum in Amsterdam, painting two new artworks: an anamorphic floor mural and a large canvas piece for the museum’s permanent collection. Huge thanks to the entire STRAAT team for having us, for the warm welcome, and for the incredible production support throughout the whole process ✌️❤️ – #halfstudio #straatmuseum #lettering #typography #streetart

HALFSTUDIO created two new artworks at STRAAT Museum 👏 Outside the museum entrance, the artwork “TRUTH” only reveals itself from one exact viewpoint. Move around it, and the word falls apart. “In a time when reality can be twisted from every side, things can seem contradictory, confusing, impossible to read. And yet, truth exists.” - HALFSTUDIO For our main collection, the artwork “IT’S ALL OF US” brings a different perspective. It questions the idea that we’re separate from what’s happening around us. What we do, say, ignore, or support doesn’t stop with us. It shapes the world we share. Want to discover these artworks and more street art?

TRUTH Anamorphic floor mural for @straatmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands We live in a world where truth is constantly under pressure. Some truths are being hidden, buried under layers of manipulation. Others are rising, being discovered and revealed. The letters overlap and emerge from the ground in a way that leaves it unclear whether the word is being buried or rising. Only from a single point of view does it appear whole and undistorted. In a time when reality can be twisted from every side, things can seem contradictory, confusing, impossible to read. And yet, truth exists. To see it clearly, we need to find the right perspective. Thank you so much to all the STRAAT team for having us, for the warm welcome and for the great production throughout the process ✌️❤️ – #halfstudio #straatmuseum #anamorphicart#typography #streetart

REMEMBER It’s been a while since we last painted a handsaw. Coming back to it felt familiar, but also different. This time we painted it more focused on texture and on the act of painting. “Remember” felt right for this piece, as it speaks to where the handsaw came from, the hands that used it, and the weight of a family tool as a relic of care. 
Thank you so much, João! ❤️ REMEMBER, 2026 Acrylic painting on an antique handsaw. Private commission. —

MK. Campo polidesportivo do Bairro Amarelo, Monte da Caparica. 🌈 (English below) A convite do @mk.comum , pintámos este campo a partir de um processo colaborativo com crianças e jovens da comunidade, desenvolvido em conjunto com o André Neves @mazedlm . Na sessão criativa surgiram várias palavras: amizade, alegria, união, respeito, liberdade… mas a que mais se destacou foi MK. O “MK”, além de designar o Monte da Caparica, representa também o sentido de comunidade deste bairro. Foi este sentimento de comunidade que inspirou o desenho do campo: letras grandes e coloridas que pretendem trazer energia e dinamismo ao espaço. As formas orgânicas e elementos gráficos podem ser usados pelas crianças para inventar jogos e brincadeiras, tornando o espaço mais inclusivo e adaptado às diferentes idades. Um obrigado especial: Monica, André Campos, André Neves, Raquel, Mari, Rúben, Ceci, David e Silvestro ✌️ — MK.

In the creative session, several words came up: friendship, joy, unity, respect, freedom… but the one that stood out the most was MK. “MK”, besides referring to Monte da Caparica, also represents a sense of community in this neighbourhood.
This sense of community inspired the design of the court: large, colourful letters that bring energy and movement to the space. Organic shapes and graphic elements can be used by children to invent games and ways of playing, making the space more inclusive and adaptable to different ages.

New installation for @timeoutmarketlisboa 
curated by @sota_art_ 
This project was very rewarding for us, as it was about listening and giving back. Customers and teams were invited to write what Time Out Market means to them, giving rise to short phrases in multiple languages. The result is a constellation of graphic flags, colorful and immersive, celebrating diversity, sharing, and the market as a meeting point between cultures. Thank you to everyone involved 💜 📍Mercado da Ribeira, Av. 24 de Julho, 1200-479 Lisboa, Portugal — #halfstudio #timeoutmarketlisbon #lettering #artinstallation

YOU, Point of View No. 2 Acrylic on canvas, artist-made wooden frame 25 × 30 cm 2026 DM for inquiries. #halfstudio #textbasedart #typographyinart #abstractpainting #contemporarypainting

STUDIO TIME ✨ Process of one of the canvases we painted for a new series we are working on, called “Point of View”. This series it’s about words, not to be read quickly but to be looked at, felt, and interpreted. Each painting focuses on close details and reveals the process behind it: the layers, the brushstrokes, the small decisions usually hidden. It’s a way of slowing down, noticing details, and giving time to meaning.
