Born in Lisbon in 1995, Mtáfora has always been fascinated by colors and geometric shapes from an early age and, in a more figurative or abstract way, has always sought to provoke a reaction in people through his pieces. His works are based on a vast
universe of colors and textures, with paper, canvas or street walls serving as the basis for his artistic expression. With influences from Basquiat, Miró, Keith Haring or Picasso, he has been developing a childish, imperfect and carefree style which he called “mtaforism”.
