Mariana Branco (b. 1986) and Emanuel Barreira (b. 1986) are the creative duo behind Halfstudio, a Portugal-based collective that explores various creative realms with a focus on lettering and sign painting.
Their visual language is characterized by three-dimensional letters and dynamic layouts, reflecting impactful messages and vibrant colors.
Creating both studio pieces and public art, their approach incorporates contemporary themes and ideas, while also showing a careful consideration for the communities in which their works are placed.
The duo has showcased their work in exhibitions and street art festivals both in Portugal and internationally.
