By the artist: "Não senti nada com o nosso primeiro beijo. Minto. Senti-me frio. Os pássaros voam de telhado em telhado com pedaços de bolo nos bicos. Dei-te a mão no metro e estavas quente. Minto. Durante a viagem até ao Cais a carruagem estava vazia. Dois piscos parecem dançar: andam tão próximos, deram o laço no ar. Fodemos, senti-me bem. Minto. Algo estava a pesar-me. O sol está-se a ir, eles chilreiam em bandos no Jardim Constantino. O silêncio é bom, somos íntimos. Minto. Sinto-me só. Que bonitos, todos têm um par. Estamos no quarto, fazemos conchinha, mas eu vim para a cozinha porque não consigo dormir. Já não vejo os piscos. Aninharam."

João Lince (1997) is a tattoo artist and visual artist from Porto with a degree in Communication Design and a master’s in Image Design (FBAUP, 2022). Between painted skins, illustrated books, and tiles, he is often found between Bonfim and Anjos, where he enjoys having coffee and sketching themes of mystical loves and diabolical heartbreaks. In 2021, he released his first book, Dante, a queer reinterpretation of hell through illustration and velvet. More recently, in 2024, he presented his second solo project at Livraria Aberta (Porto), the exhibition A morte do bezerro ("The Death of the Calf"), where he celebrated the end of yet another “mythological love” and, together with Amargo, unearthed his emotions in sentimental archaeology, a solstice exhibition at Senhora Presidenta gallery (Porto).

Our screen printed tiles are envisioned as a work of art. They are fragile pieces and need to be handled with care.
Keep away from heat sources to prevent damages.
To preserve the quality of our ceramic products, clean them with a damp cloth only. Avoid the use of aggressive/abrasive detergents that could damage the surfaces of the ceramic.
Over time, a crazing pattern may develop.
Note that not every surface of the tile is coated with glaze. Some pieces are intentionally not completely glazed on the top surface for conceptual or aesthetic reasons.
