Hope and Optimism



« I see your art as very political in a beautiful way with hope and optimism. The vibrant happy gorgeous colors you choose and some of the symbolism such as hearts, stars, rainbows, ice cream and most importantly the birds (which to me represent freedom) convey cheerful confidence. The bird is never caught and always seems to be flying away. The pacman looking guy (i'm sure you have heard that before) with his hungry mouth and sharp teeth conveys a message of greed representing all different messed up situations in our world. This character could be a single person or a country or a corporation etc. He loves to stand on Euros and tanks and drop bombs. I remember the first time I saw your street art around the corner about 4 years ago and immediately thought to myself that greedy pacman is wearing a monopoly top hat. Ironic or maybe on purpose?? Do you know of the game Monopoly? Rich get richer and poor get poorer until someone wins and the others lose completely. »

Não é só o sentido estético que os teus trabalhos transmitem, pelas cores e grafismos bem escolhidos... o teu trabalho é essencialmente uma mensagem de alerta constante que contrasta com a decadência urbana e social...

Cascais e arredores estão muito mais bonitos desde que chegaste...

Ah!! Conto ver-te no CC de Cascais no próximo dia 25... tens lá umas pérolas que enriqueceram o meu projecto...
