Description from the seller

Collector's item.
100% hand-painted on cotton canvas.
This painting should be displayed under UV light for a 100% experience.
Artwork sent without a frame, in a shipping tube via DHL.
Accompanied by COA, a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

In "Above the Clouds," the viewer is led on a journey between the tangible and the invisible. The central figure, cloaked in a golden mantle and suspended between sky and mist, evokes a dreamlike walk in a space that floats above reality. The urban composition, punctuated by graffiti, smiles, and words like "dream" and "never dreamed," conveys the tension between the freedom of dreams and the hardness of the concrete world.

However, the true heart of the work is only revealed under UV light: a secret layer of symbols and hidden messages that remain invisible to the unobservant eye. This duality challenges the observer to look deeper—beyond the surface—suggesting that, just like in dreams or in the mind itself, there is always more to discover than what is seen.


About Hione

Hione from Porto is a visual artist who, since 2013, has been transforming walls into works of art, using graffiti as his main form of expression. His career, which began on the streets of the city, reflects a deep connection with urban culture. Each creation is a unique fusion of vibrant colors and bold shapes.

Over the years, Hione has developed a distinctive style that transcends traditional graffiti conventions, integrating elements of contemporary art, illustration, and graphic design. His work is showcased in both public and private settings, always aiming to provoke reflection and inspire the audience.

With over a decade of experience, Hione has successfully brought his art to new audiences, participating in various exhibitions and collaborative projects.

At this moment, Hione continues to challenge the limits of graffiti, deepening his exploration in the figurative field and maintaining a keen eye on the evolution of his personal style, as well as the impact of his art on the world around him.
