Filipe Branquinho, Smoke Them, 2022, Drawing on Pigment Inkjet Print, Breathing Color, Elegance Velvet, 300 GSM, 100% Cotton Rag, Bright White Matte Paper, 110 x 110 cm

Filipe’s work is pure alchemy – a perfect fusion of diverse techniques and mediums that give birth to powerful and intricate masterpieces. With a mix of drawing pens, pencils, digital photography, and paper origamis, he creates a dazzling array of colors, messages, and modern symbols that captivate the senses.

“In Gold We Trust” is a striking and deeply ironic critique of the luxury industry, private jetsetters, and the frenzy surrounding crypto and real estate. Since representing his country, Mozambique, at the Venice Biennale 2019, Filipe has emerged as one of the most intellectually profound and influential African artists of our time.
