Afonsoul is a Brazilian artist based in Portugal, emerging as one of the rising stars of his generation. His journey began during the pandemic, driven by a deep need to express himself in a world that was in isolation. Initially without experience in painting, he started with digital collages, gradually evolving into drawing and developing a unique style that blends realism with graphic elements—creating works that invite viewers to connect with deep emotions, often hidden by the demands of daily life.

​

Combining technique and emotion, Afonsoul’s art stands out for its vibrant use of color and the fusion of natural elements with an aesthetic that challenges 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 committed to community engagement, painting in public spaces and collaborating with major brands such as AkzoNobel group and Lexus, as well as institutions like UNESCO. His art has left its mark in several European countries, including Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, as well as in his home country, Brazil.

Afonsoul represents a new generation of urban artists who balance technique, emotion, and social engagement, using art as an invitation to dream without judgment and explore our inner freedom.
