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.

João Barroqueiro Lopes was born in Lisbon in 1998. João studied, and João works. João is an illustrator, a tattoo artist, a designer. And João reflects.
He reflects on his own crooked existence, in the small details of daily life, and peers through a magnifying glass at his own sense of permanence.
In search of traces of identity, he records — with quiet notes of love — the light’s reflections, the shadows of his hands, the fallen hairs on the dresser.
He engraves them onto warm plates, stacking them into piles at the back of his desk. Drawn only by the delicacy of small things — the scraps left behind in the excavation.
He savors the repetitive movements of his arms as ink stains the paper — and the skin.
With back pain and tired legs, he wipes his hands on cloths, steps away from the work, and lets it grow beyond its limits.
And into these relics, he deposits the permanence he longs for.

To me, the pieces I create are more than just mugs, sculptures, or vases; they are my babies. My wish is for them to become more than objects in your home—I want them to be your friends. A companion to share your morning coffee with, or a silent confidant for your moods at the end of the day. A personal best friend that truly belongs in your life.

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.
