about






Originally from Porto, Braga has established a multidisciplinary artistic practice since his early stages of pre-academia. It all arises from a curiosity to understand himself in relation to the world, applying certain mediums of artistic expression that cross over and complement one another. With a greater focus on architecture, his projects in the fields of visual arts, tattoo, and music function as moons orbiting this main practice, hereby affecting its tides.

Currently based in Copenhagen working for ALL arkitekter, while simultaneously teaching drawing in the Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo - he is in his last year of a Master’s in the Porto’s School of Architecture developing an art-based research project about the phenomenological effect of architecture on mental well-being.
