In parallel with his solo exhibition currently on display at the EverardArt gallery in Tokyo, we are pleased to present a selection of works from his totem series.

From New York to Tokyo, via Paris and Hong Kong, Vasco Mourao captures the striking beauty and complexity of major metropolises. A seasoned traveler and passionate about architecture, Vasco Mourão speaks to us of the iconic cities that have shaped his journey: his ink drawings on paper, metal, and marble offer an intimate vision of urban life, revealing the details of buildings, their light, their forms, and their textures.

Caught in the continuous flow of endlessly repeated construction patterns, his drawings vibrate with a particular sense of movement. The human figure, often absent, sometimes appears as anonymous individuals emerging from lifeless facades. This is the artist's way of breathing life and identity into the city.

With masterful composition and meticulous technique, Vasco Mourão creates works that are both striking and subtle, capturing the essence of cities while leaving enough room for the imagination and contemplation of those who observe them.
