Eva is an illustrator from Almada, Portugal.
Through both digital and traditional methods, she enjoys exploring high contrasts, be it thematically or aesthetically. Her work is influenced by themes found in medieval art, film frames and the gross slapsticky violence of 90's morning cartoons.
Though beauty is still very much a goal within her work, Eva’s mission is to look for it in the moldiest corners of everyone’s basements so that even the weirdest little parts of ourselves might have their moment in the sun.

Albert Tannat is the heteronym of Tiago Raimundo, a self-taught artist with a raw and expressive vision of art. His work is influenced by Art Brut, Naïve Art, and Outsider Art, drawing inspiration from marginal spaces and underground realities.
Through visceral and direct painting, Tannat explores the intensity of human existence, capturing primal emotions with energetic strokes and a vibrant palette. His spontaneous and non-academic approach grants him total freedom in the construction of images that evoke the instinctive, the oneiric, and the chaotic.
Each of his pieces is a universe of its own, where rawness and sensitivity coexist, challenging conventional structures of art and offering a unique perspective on the human in its purest state.
Beyond his pictorial work, Albert Tannat expands his artistic expression into the sonic realm, as a member of the Porto-based band Sereias, where he explores new textures and musical atmospheres. In parallel, he collaborates with DJ Urânio in a performative, apocalyptic, and post-aesthetic show, creating immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between visual and performing arts.

Sou artista visual com interesse especial na área do desenho. O desenho de observação é o que mais tenho feito nos últimos anos, assim como perceber de que maneira estes desenhos podem resultar como pequenas publicações. Por outro lado tenho também um gosto pela exploração visual, marcado pelo jogo entre um registo rigoroso e orgânico.

Hello,
My name is Mafalda!
I graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts - University of Lisbon in 2014, with a bachelor’s degree in Equipment Design. During my bachelor’s degree I also studied at the Nuova Accademia di Belli Arti, in Milan under the Erasmus program. Afterwards, I pursued a master’s degree in Product Design at Esad.Cr (School of Arts and Design,Caldas da Rainha), which was completed in 2017. Further into my studies, I enrolled in a postgraduate program in Art Curation at the NOVA University – FCSH.
Design comes in as the foundation for an artistic direction involving the relationship with space and objects compositions. The experience I intend to create is this way translated into a three-dimensional action, through colour, form, and narrative, bringing something playful and unexpected to the projects. The main idea is the relation between the space, object and human/ body.
Currently my work consists of art direction projects, set design, scenography, objects making and artistic installations. The use of colour, visual compositions, textiles, and photography are also structural languages in my work.
