BIOGRAFIA

PORTFÓLIO
Odeith was born in 1976 in Damaia (Portugal). He first
got his hands on a spray can in the mid of 80s, but it was in the following
decade, when graffiti began to spread in Portugal and to emerge outside his
birthplace - Carcavelos, that he had his first contact with graffiti and the
movement that was beginning. His first experiences were made in the street and
on train tracks, and in this way the passion he had always shown for drawing
found a new direction and could begin to develop. After a short time, opportunities
arose to paint large murals in Damaia, Carcavelos, and several social housing
projects, including Cova da Moura, 6 de Maio, and Santa Filomena.
From an early age, he revealed a special interest for
perspective and shadow, in an obscure style that he came to call "3D
sombre", where the compositions, whether landscapes or portraits, messages
or tributes, stood out for their realism and technique.
In 2005, he was internationally recognized for his
innovative incursions into the so-called anamorphic art, where he stood out for
the compositions created in perspective painted on different surfaces, such as
90-degree corners or from the wall to the floor, creating an optical illusion
effect.
In 2008 he decides to close the doors of his tattoo
studio (opened in 1999), to work in London.
Currently, back in Lisbon, he assumed painting as his
main activity, having created murals for national and international companies
such as London Shell, Kingsmill, Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Coca-Cola, Estradas de
Portugal, Samsung, Lisbon City Hall, Oeiras City Hall, among others.
Among the events in which he
participated, we highlight: Meeting of Styles (Germany), Museum of Public Art
(Louisiana, USA), MuBE - Brazilian Sculpture Museum (São Paulo, Brazil), 1st
Bienal del Sur (Panama), 2nd Anniversary of the Museu Coleção Berardo, among
others.
FESTIVAL MURO_LX
A água é um recurso escasso e essencial à vida, que deve ser utilizado de forma sustentável sem comprometer as necessidades dos ecossistemas, assim como a qualidade e disponibilidade para uso de gerações futuras. Em Portugal, o consumo de água divide-se em 75% no setor agricultura, 20% no setor urbano e 5% no setor industrial.
O setor da água enfrenta hoje desafios mais complexos e é indissociável do contexto de adaptação às alterações climáticas, sendo por isso fundamental a sua capacidade de resiliência face a fenómenos climatéricos cada vez mais extremos. Os episódios de escassez de água são cada vez mais frequentes e persistentes, sendo evidentes os ciclos de pluviosidade tendencialmente mais curtos. Nos meios urbanos estamos tão habituados à presença e à facilidade de acesso à água, que só damos conta da sua importância quando esta nos faz falta.
Contudo, o uso eficiente de água é hoje imperativo para evitar o desperdício deste precioso recurso, que é uma das bases da sustentabilidade económica, social e ambiental das sociedades.
