Letters & Skulls

2023

Being on a large scale as I always like, it has a lot of details, very complex lettering with many effects, vegetation, the skulls, the background, the highlights and shadows, everything was painted aiming to be my best piece.

This piece was made in the same location as the mural with the letters and the wild dogs, so I have to thank Mr. Araújo for letting me leave my things in his garage and for always enjoying what I paint!

This was by far the mural that I received the most feedback from people who passed by me while painting. Everyone was so positive and even a very kind couple, after talking to me for a while, gave me money for what I was painting and for what I had already painted in that location! Even after I refused, they were determined to offer me the money, even though it wasn't much, it turned out to be a beautiful gesture that surprised me, combined with the conversation we had together.

I loved the journey of painting this mural, maybe one of my favorites too in terms of the process!

Here are some pictures of the final result!

Este vai sem dúvida para o meu top 3 de Graffitis já feitos. Um mural pintado na rua, em concreto na parte exterior de um edifício abandonado.
Nunca fui tantas vezes abordado pelas pessoas que por ali passavam, todos eles revelando tremenda aprovação pelo que estava a pintar. Deu-me a possibilidade de conhecer novas caras e de poder estabelecer conversas agradáveis. Tornou-se frequente encontrar os mesmos indivíduos ao longo da elaboração desta pintura, quer fossem moradores da zona que por ali cortavam caminho ou passeavam os seus cães ao fim do dia, ou mesmo os trabalhadores da oficina já ali ao lado.
Perdi a conta da quantidade de interações que tive ao pintar esta parede, embora recorde muitas das conversas que tive.
Mais uma vez um obrigado ao Sr. Araújo, desta vez por disponibilizar a sua garagem como local para eu guardar lá as minhas tralhas de pintura, evitando que andasse para trás e para frente com o material todo, visto tendo sido um mural que pintei em diversos dias.
Fica aqui registado mais uma peça que me orgulho, onde me dediquei até nos mais delicados detalhes, que juntos, formam uma composição mais sólida, consistente, e com mais que se lhe diga, do que só a uma primeira vista se poderá analisar.
Adoro pintar na rua, à noite, algo mais rápido, mais risco, mais exposição, mas também haverá sempre em mim o gosto por criar O Graffiti, aquele graffiti que me possa representar, aquela peça que me faltará sempre criar, o mural perfeito, o melhor de mim.

This one definitely goes into my top 3 graffiti pieces I've ever done. A mural painted on the street, specifically on the exterior of an abandoned building.

I've never been approached so many times by people passing by, all showing tremendous approval for what I was painting. It gave me the opportunity to meet new faces and have pleasant conversations. It became common to encounter the same individuals throughout the creation of this painting, whether they were residents of the area taking a shortcut through there or walking their dogs at the end of the day, or even the workers from the workshop right next door.

I lost count of how many interactions I had while painting this wall, although I remember many of the conversations I had.

Once again, thanks to Mr. Araújo, this time for making his garage available as a place for me to store my painting supplies, preventing me from having to carry all the material back and forth, since it was a mural that I painted over several days.

Here is another piece I'm proud of, where I dedicated myself to even the most delicate details, which together form a more solid, consistent composition, with more to say than can be analyzed at first glance.

I love painting in the street, at night, something quicker, riskier, more exposed, but I will also always have the desire to create THE Graffiti, that graffiti that can represent me, that piece I will always lack, the perfect mural, the best of me.
