In the summer of 2012, I brought together some of the best Portuguese urban artists to create exclusive wallpaper for interior decoration. The artists, including Bruno Santinho (Quillograma), Diogo Machado (Add Fuel To The Fire), Gonçalo Mar, João Rei (CantSurfNaked), Klit, Mike Tunna, Margarida Girão, Mosaik, Paulo Arraiano (Yup), and Vanessa Teodoro (Super Van), adapted their original artwork for use in interior decoration.
The collective consisted of designers, illustrators, writers (graffiti), visual artists, and a designer/tattoo artist, all with excellent work and easily recognizable styles.
In addition to being a commercial product and a way to promote the artists and communication partners involved, GRAFIKWALLS was proof of the initiative of young Portuguese creatives in establishing partnerships with successful national companies. The distribution of the products was handled by the renowned company PEDROSO & OSÓRIO.
