  • Details: In 2014, WOOL was once again invited to go to Figueira da Foz and curate all actions around Urban Art at the Fusing Culture Experience. Again, we manage to take there some os the most recognized artists in Portugal, that worked for 10 days, in murals, installation, customizations, ... The wall where Pantónio created his piece had as background the sea, which proved to be the biggest point of inspiration for his intervention. The human figures move towards the sea and they convey a tremendous sense of dynamism and movement.
