Portuguese graffiti artists transform Taguspark garages

Taguspark invited five Portuguese artists to transform some of the walls of the garages in the country's largest science and technology park into works of art. Each work by the graffiti artists Clo Bougard, Youthoner, Gonçalo Mar, The Caver and Stylerone conveys a motivational and inspirational message related to Taguspark's values. The murals were painted during the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and are a tribute to closeness and embrace, happiness and well-being.

“Taguspark seeks, at all times, to promote well-being, quality of life, and happiness in the workplace. This initiative reinforces the contribution of the arts within the internal circuit, ensuring higher levels of good spirits and quality of life. At Taguspark, the artistic and cultural component is very present, and these murals, painted by internationally recognized artists, are part of our Urban Art Museum, which is in full development," reveals Eduardo Baptista Correia, CEO of Taguspark.

Spread across various Taguspark buildings, including the Núcleo Central, eight garage walls have now been painted by artists Clo Bougard (curated by Elisa Ochoa), Youthoner, Gonçalo Mar, The Caver and Stylerone (curated by Tapumarte). The graffiti artists were inspired by themes such as the environment, history, poetry, philosophy, knowledge and overcoming to pay homage to closeness and embrace through bright colors and very suggestive geometric designs. Confinement served as inspiration for these disruptive and impactful works, all with a motivational or inspirational message and related to Taguspark's values.
