While representing ESAD, as part of the celebration of International Civil Protection Day, promoted by the Civil Protection of Matosinhos, I had the opportunity to decorate a disused van/ambulance with graffiti, with the aim of raising awareness among the children of the municipality about preserving the planet, in accordance with the local sustainability goals proposed by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda.

Everything became possible thanks to a colleague and friend of mine. He spoke with the professor responsible for this project about me and showed my graffiti works – since the professor was interested in painting the van – so on the same day, professor Elias called me and everything was ready for us to begin.

The idea was discussed, prices, materials and everything was good to go.

The theme of this project was to impersonate a spaceship that crashed and landed on Earth, still having "scorched" pieces.
The interior would reflect a whole spatial and psychedelic environment, also containing an object that would personify the earth in a decadent/corroded aesthetic.
It was an incredible process and I can only thank Professor Elias Marques and my colleague Miguel Ferreira for introducing me to this beautiful project. Loved painting the van, being a totally new and different experience than painting a wall.
A process surrounded by a good atmosphere and praise for the work being done.
The ambulance was later part of the exhibition at Mar Shopping during March 2023.

Project made in February 2023.
