2upla Studio - The project
We’re two Portuguese explorers with no borders. 2upla was born by meshing a designer - myself - and an architect - and one of my oldest & dearest friends - Luís de Matos Silvestre. With a solid background in graffiti and street art, we took it even further by transposing to large-scale formats with installations, painting, light design, and stage sets.
2upla Studio was founded in Lisbon in the year 2017 by the architect Luís Silvestre and the designer Bruno Gião.
We’re specialized in the creation of scenarios and light design. The passion for creating spaces and the contact with several creative areas gives rise to a body of work focused on the combination of architecture and design with painting and light.
When designing spaces we combine painting and controlled lighting techniques with the construction of structures in order to respond to the needs of the ideas and expectations of the client.
The different professional areas within the 2upla studio team generate synergies that allow us to satisfy the ideas proposed in a creative, contemporary and unique way.

Painting & Illustration
Painting has been a constant (and forever) passion, and it’s mainly where I get inspiration for everything else. Illustration came in as a more efficient way to communicate and to make stories come alive.
Decaying Fonts
I draw everyday, anytime, anywhere i can - with any physical tool in all kinds of surfaces. Letters always have been my perfect kind of nudes.
