In his work, Filipe explores the constant physical mutation of space, the removal of the mark and degradation, thus challenging the limits of how the urban environment is used. His painting is about image and about painting in its purest form, sharing an uncompromising attitude and embracing error, emotion, and the spontaneous form that inhabits the works themselves. It often reveals a sudden impulse or a strong, unthinking desire to act.

Memory emerges as a latent element in his process, functioning both as a trace of what disappears and as a subjective reconstruction of space and time. The use of photography becomes, in this context, a tool of recording and mediation, a starting point that allows the reconfiguration of reality, the preservation of fragments of ephemeral places, and the transformation of urban experience into image and pictorial gesture.


The materials used only serve as a means of conveying the idea where each painting through bold spray paint strokes and paper collage conveys a particular change, both physical and emotive.

Although they may seem quick and gestural, in reality all the paintings were derived from deliberation, study and modification, resulting in a work where the positive and negative spaces interact with each other as the black and white presence of the canvases, leaving the viewer free to experience the emotions depicted on the canvases and project their own meaning.
