The artist — awarded as the second best in the world in April 2024 and ranked among the Top 100 muralists worldwide by Street Art Cities — represents a new generation of urban artists who balance technique, emotion, and social awareness, using art as an invitation to dream without judgment and to explore our inner freedom.

Afonsoul is a Brazilian artist based in Portugal, emerging as one of the strongest voices of his generation. His journey began during the pandemic, driven by a deep need for expression in a world marked by isolation. With no previous experience in painting, he started creating digital collages, gradually evolving into drawing and developing a distinctive style that blends realism with graphic elements — crafting pieces that invite the audience to connect with deep emotions often silenced by the demands of everyday life.

Combining technique and sensitivity, Afonsoul’s art stands out for its vibrant color palette and the fusion of natural elements with an aesthetic that confronts the chaos of urban life. His work, marked by a strong visual identity, explores themes such as introspection, personal growth, and freedom, always carrying messages of hope, resilience, and transformation.

Afonsoul is also strongly committed to community engagement, creating murals in public spaces and collaborating with major brands such as AkzoNobel and Lexus, as well as institutions like UNESCO. His art has already left its mark across several European countries — including Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany — as well as in his home country, Brazil.
