​Roots in the Algarve and Education

I'm Fly Pontes. I was born and raised in the Algarve, the region of Portugal that inspires me with its intense light and vibrant colors. This connection to my homeland is not only personal; it's the foundation of my palette.

My artistic journey began with technical rigor: I graduated in Illustration Design at Ar.Co (Lisbon, 2000). This illustration training gave me the precision, detail, and storytelling skills that I apply today to all my work, whether on a small canvas or a giant mural.

From Canvas to Walls: Urban Art in Portugal

Since 2014, my passion for scale has led me from canvas to buildings. Today, I am an artist focused on Mural Painting and Urban Art, with interventions throughout the country.

I believe that Urban Art in Portugal is a powerful force for requalification and for the insertion of fantasy into everyday life. My style is a fusion of fantasy and precision, often using stencil techniques to achieve complex textures and shapes, bringing dreamlike animals and colorful worlds to life amidst concrete.

Impact and Community

My art isn't just about painting; it's about creating connections. In 2013, I was one of the Founding Partners of the 100 Pavor Association of Visual Artists, based in Évora, where I actively worked to bring art to the community.

Today, I dedicate myself to mural painting projects in the Algarve—starting in São Bartolomeu de Messines—but I also bring my work to clients and public spaces throughout the country and beyond.
