"The lines in my work are derived from the energy and movement of graffiti, the meticulous composition comes from my designer education and the textures and kaleidoscopic ambiance from music." - my name is not SEM

Filipe Granja was born in Porto in 1989. He started to demonstrate a talent for urban art at a young age. In 2004 he painted his first graffiti, an artistic style that continues to dominate his work, although with different techniques.

The nature of his creative process comes from a symbiosis of experiences. The electronic music festivals, the experience of altered states along with the graffiti background and the know-how in design, mold the multiple visual languages that he explores in his work. The psychedelic, the imaginary universes, the optical art, and the kaleidoscope vision predominate in a work that excels by the representation of environments and soundscapes.
