Virus
Porto / Portugal
Francisco Bravo, also known as Virus, is a renowned Portuguese urban artist from Porto. His unique style combines urban textures with contemporary graphic elements, pushing back the boundaries of traditional graffiti.
Initially known for his elaborate lettering, Virus began exploring more detailed paintings on “hall of fame” walls. In 2017, he realized the need to evolve graffiti and his style, incorporating inspirations of the day such as advertisements, architecture and new poster designs. Virus now bridges the gap between graffiti and street art, blending expressive and graphic painting, vandalism and art.
