Mots
- visual art duo from Portugal and Poland, created by painter and illustrator
Diogo Ruas. Jagoda Cierniak, photographer and project coordinator, has joined
in 2017.
Their
collaboration fused their individual approaches characterized by Diogo’s experience
as an urban artist and Jagoda’s engagement in photography and social – art
projects.
Mots
is an author of dozens of murals, big-scale paintings around the world. The
biggest piece done by the artists was created in 2017 in Porto’s downtown, near
the iconic Douro river, and it became part of its panoramic view. Five hundred
meters square wall merged with the landscape of the city.
Visual
artists integrated work into various initiatives such as social projects,
educational events, solo and group exhibitions, urban interventions, street art
festivals, and publications in magazines and books.
