Rodrigo Lisboa

Rodrigo V. Lisboa (1977) is a Brazilian painter and muralist based in Norway. Born in the tropical cacao town of Ilhéus, Bahia, drawing was a big part of his childhood. Amongst a lot of things he adored to decorate the city park benches in front of his grandparents´ house.

Moving to Salvador in ’91, Rodrigo soon started to explore graffiti art. Eventually he developed his personal aesthetic of abstract forms and strokes using vibrant colours. He soon got known as PEACETU from the Turbilhão Urbano crew (Urban Whirlwind crew), and is considered the one of the pioneers of the graffiti scene emerging in Bahia in the beginning of the 90´s.

Rodrigo has an impressive sense of colours, and has an extensive experience as artistic leader for children and young people in both Brazil and Norway.

As an artist, he has explored his style in various fields, from working on big durable walls, to canvas and sculptures, and has exposed his work in several exhibitions.
