Speto is one of Brazil’s most influential street artists, and a true pioneer of graffiti in Latin America. Born and raised in São Paulo, he began painting in the late 1980s, when graffiti was still emerging in Brazil, and quickly became known for a style that combined bold lines, vibrant colors, and references drawn from Brazilian culture.

Throughout his career, Speto has built bridges between different worlds. His art is deeply rooted in Brazil, but it also connects with American influences such as hip hop, pop, and urban culture. Music plays a central role in his practice, shaping his rhythm, his compositions, and the energy of his works.For this edition, Speto turns to his own heritage and the women who have marked his personal story.

"Carmelita" presents a powerful Brazilian woman as its central figure. She is strong, almost mystical, and her dress carries an indigenous-inspired pattern that speaks of ancestry, tradition, and resistance.The work celebrates not only femininity but also the resilience of Brazilian identity — an identity that has always been built in dialogue, between past and present, between local roots and global sounds.

In the quiet countryside of Belgium, Boicut found inspiration in small, unexpected details: a cloud like a brushstroke, the sound of deer in the forest, the calm of open fields. Traveling among fellow artists deepened the experience, creating moments of connection and shared discovery. Known for drawing from everyday objects, he gathered impressions and images throughout the trip to build a layered composition. The resulting print assembles multiple elements into a balanced yet dynamic arrangement, reflecting both the landscape’s serenity and the collective energy of the residency.

Arriving in Seoul with little preparation, Greg Ito immersed himself in the city’s energy through spontaneous encounters and explorations. The constant presence of Seoul Tower became a symbolic anchor, representing longing and discovery. Navigating unfamiliar streets and forming new friendships sharpened his awareness of place and self. In his print, Ito frames the landscape within his signature keyhole motif, suggesting both memory and desire. The work transforms a personal moment of connection into a symbolic image that captures the emotional resonance of finally visiting a long-imagined destination.

During his time in Lisbon, Ekta embraced the city through wandering rather than planning. Without maps or expectations, he walked, painted in the streets, and absorbed the shifting colors and atmospheres of different neighborhoods. The relaxed rhythm of the city and its ambient hues left a lasting impression. Back in his studio, he translated that energy into bold geometric forms and a carefully chosen palette inspired by Lisbon’s light and architecture. The print captures not a literal landscape, but the vitality and freedom he experienced while getting lost in the city.

On the island of Vlieland, Hense immersed himself in coastal atmosphere and open space. Known for vibrant abstraction, he responded to the island’s rhythm through layered shapes and energetic color relationships. The print reflects interaction between form and movement, echoing the expansive landscape and shifting light. Through bold gestures and structured composition, the work translates the island’s vitality into dynamic abstraction, emphasizing harmony between environment and artistic instinct.
