feature: jumping off the surface – the 3d murals of portuguese graffiti artist and tattooist odeith

Take a look at some murals by Portuguese Graffiti artist and tattooist of Odeith, aka Sergio Odeith – an artist known for his “sombre 3D” style (creating landscapes, portraits, and letters that jump off the surface). “He held a spray can for the first time in the mid 1980s, but it was in the 1990s, when graffiti began its dissemination throughout Portugal and began to leave its Portuguese birthplace, Carcavelos, that the artist had his first contact with graffiti and its movement,” state his camp. “His first experiences were sketched on street walls and train tracks and so the passion he had always shown for drawing had a newly found purpose and began evolving. Not long after, came the opportunity to paint large scale murals in Damaia, Carcavelos and in many social housing neighbourhoods, such as Cova da Moura, 6 de Maio and Santa Filomena.” Find his captivating work below.
