Jorge Charrua

Jorge Charrua (b. 1991) began his artistic journey in 2004 with graffiti. He holds a bachelor's degree in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. His body of work exists in a balance between nostalgic and contemporary themes, expressed through iconography and symbols related to hip-hop culture, old video games, or Art History, and connected through a patina of traditional painting. The representation of the human figure emerges in an interplay between melancholy and affirmation, interacting with the two-dimensionality of the backgrounds created by graphic signs. His research work extends beyond the studio, taking on the challenge of maintaining artistic coherence between studio work and mural projects, drawing from academic art knowledge and street art influences.
