- Details: WOOL – Covilhã Urban Art Festival, that merged in 2011 in Covilhã, for various reasons beyond our control, didn’t get more support or funding for a second edition, so obviously we searched for other geographies, new projects and new formats. The first place that welcome us was LXFactory in Lisbon (as Rua Rodrigues Faria, 103 – www.lxfactory.com), undeniably the most creative and artistic center of the capital, which was installed in an old flourmill and later printer industry, a place filled with old and gray facades. This piece is one from the 3rd edition of WOOL ON TOUR, a double wall by Samina.
- Biography: João Samina, known as SAMINA, had his first contacts with the world of art, especially drawing and painting, pretty early. With 14 years he began to place stickers on the streets and so hard, with discretion, in the world of urban art. For some years, he accompanied the movement and growth, self-taught, he has grown as an artist. It is during this time that he discovered the 'stencil', and in 2010 feels able to produce a greater and more consistent work. Since then, SAMINA remains in constant search for new stimuli and experiences in all the jobs he have done, uniting their language techniques 'stencil' provided with graphic elements from references in the world of urban art, graphic design, painting and architecture.
