Work developed goes from art direction, objects, art installations, spaces, artistic tile panels and NFTs. Studio team and resources are brought together according to each project request relying on a network of established professionals for collaborations. Every project casts an inquisitive look on process, material and immaterial culture, gathering unexpected and conscious solutions.
With a heart set on tiles, grasping smiles, Pedrita’s tile panels portrait past memories on an optical inception where distance plays a role revealing abstract colors and textures onto a glimpse of a photographic image. Physical or digitally, trims of textures, colors and glows from end of the line tiles from portuguese factories from the 1960s henceforth, potrating a revisited rich visual legacy combined with a contemporary perspective.

Conor Harrington - Conor Harrington was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1980. After completing a BA in Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design in 2002, he relocated to London, where he has lived and worked since.
Harrington began painting graffiti as a teenager in Cork and has since gone on to paint large scale murals around the world in locations such as London, Paris, New York, Miami, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Working on the streets for over 25yrs has informed Harrington’s studio practice in terms of both content and technique, with narratives and approaches nurtured from the urban environment. Harrington’s large scale oil paintings examine themes of power and authority and have been exhibited and collected around the world.
Vhils - Vhils aka Alexandre Farto (b. 1987) has been interacting visually with the urban environment under the name of Vhils since his days as a prolific graffiti writer in the early 2000s. Vhils has presented his work in over 40 countries in solo and group exhibitions, site-specific art interventions and projects in various contexts – from working with communities in Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai to collabs with Art institutions such as the Centre Pompidou (Paris), Barbican Centre (London), CAFA Art Museum (Beijing), MAAT (Lisbon), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Le Centquatre-Paris, (Paris), Victoria & Albert Museum (London), among others.
An avid experimentalist, Vhils has been developing his personal aesthetics in a plurality of media besides his signature carving technique: from stencil painting to metal etching, from pyrotechnic explosions and video to sculptural installations. He has also directed several music videos, short films, and two stage productions. Vhils grew up in Seixal, an industrialised suburb across the river from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and was deeply influenced by the transformations brought on by the intensive urban development the country underwent in the 1980s and 1990s. He was particularly inspired by the way city walls absorb the social and historical changes that take place around them.
