RAM - Tales from the Future

“Tales from the Future”

Collectors Item Premium One

Still Hand Made

Hello :)

This is my favourite Solo auction of the year , not because it’s the last one but because I always love this time of the year , winter, Xmas and New Year Vibe . Winter in Portugal is not so difficult but it gets really cold and humid because the ocean . .. it’s difficult sometimes to deal with paint and specially spray paint. It makes a challenge to create outdoors and at the same time is very toxic in the studio . Xmas always made me produce more because I like to offer paintings to friends and family and because there are always extra Challenging orders . Finished the year for festivals and walls commissions … this feels good ;)
For this auction I decided long time ago to go put aside some paintings …. somehow this auction is a compilation of my “Best Of” of 2024. It was really fun to pick up the paintings an align all them .. feels good to see evolution and at the same time my style getting solid and fresh .
For this auction there are also some new fresh styles .. new combinations and new colour pallets… I’m always looking for something new .
2025 will be different … every year is different … I promise I will try to keep the flow and the energy to keep breaking the dishes and the kitchen (we say this in Portuguese when we want to be the Best) I will try to be the most professional possible even know I’m an Human and humans do errors

My goal is to sell true art . 100% Hand made and with Human intelligence… Human feelings … I’m totally against AI art and prints. And I will be honest with myself before being honest with Buyers and Collectors. My goal is to spread my message of Love, Hope and Unity among Humans.

I wish all humans can live in equality and with quality.
I wish we humans had some kind of global enlightenment to start protect seriously our Planet… our Home.
I wish you all Peace and Love .

We are One.

#Last Man Standing (LMS) was born in 2004 when painted him inside an old factory in Lisbon and fast it became one of the Portuguese Street Art icons all around the world with a very powerful meaning and symbolism.

#Brotherhood arrived in 2016 when I connected a lot of “LMS” in the same painting for the first time … I really enjoyed it and started to use in my street art pieces . For me they represent We … all the Humans.

#Pareidolia is a situation in which someone sees a pattern or image of something that does not exist, for example a rabbit in a cloud or a face in a mountain and in this auction some paintings you will feel and see you own “pareidolia “ …. i don’t promise you will see the rabbit ;) its all about feelings
