MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ANTIGA MENTE NOVA – stencil mural

admin — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:20:30 +0000

Part of the WOOL on tour, this 22mt stencil mural in LX Factory, Lisbon, is part of the work I’ve been developing around the traditional portuguese tiles (called azulejos). A message is stated and a bridge is created between the traditional tiles, it’s reinterpretation and the way the old meets the new. Through shapes, elements and techniques.
ANTIGA MENTE NOVA it’s a word game between ‘antigamente’, ‘antiga mente’ and ‘mente nova’ (‘formerly’, ‘old mind’ and ‘new mind’).

Big thanks and love to WOOL and Lara Seixo Rodrigues for the invitation and João Miguez for all the help.

Lately people ask me “Hey why don’t you post stuff on Facebooktwitterinstagram? Don’t you have new works? New tiles? drawings, new artwork (or whatever the hell you do)?” Well, I usually post teaser images of new stuff I’m doing and photos of my dog on those platforms, but for the last couple weeks, I have been intensely working on some great projects that I didn’t even remember to keep you (the friendly reader) updated.
But yes, fear not. I have new tiles; new unique panels ready and a limited edition dropping soon. I have new illustrations, have a video to work on (from that big tile mural in the Azores for Walk&Talk) and there’s a new mural in Lisbon coming soon.
Boom! You’ve been updated!
