Luís Santos, also known as LS, was born and raised in Marvila, a neighbourhood in Lisbon. LS discovered his passion for drawing at a young age and spent countless hours creating themes and characters.

Marvila has a strong connection to the train line, which was an important part of the neighbourhood’s history and development. This connection to the train line and the graffiti movement, has been an ongoing source of inspiration for Luis and it can be seen in some of his artwork.

He started as a graffiti writer in the neighbourhood where he grew up, exploring the train line and using spray paint to his ilegal actions. Santos has since evolved into a complete artist, with a portfolio that showcases his ability to embrace different styles and techniques.

LS Artist’ work addresses themes such as multiculturalism, women, and nature. He uses colour, triangulation, and traditional Portuguese laces to create a harmonious and contemporary result. LS work has been exhibited in solo and collective exhibitions in various gallerys and events. Also has participated in urban art festivals such as Muro-LX, Infinito, Mural-18 or Stone Art. Since 2015, has been developing projects using various materials collected from the streets. His murals have been displayed in multiple locations including Lisbon, Alcochete, Leiria and Loures.

LS has also conducted workshops with kids and young students in Lisbon. He has been featured in press interviews and web articles, and his work has attracted clients such as Rock in Rio, Galeria de Arte Urbana, and Infra Estruturas de Portugal.

Through his work, LS celebrates the multiculturalism that defines Lisbon, and his graffiti background adds depth and authenticity to his art. LS Artist embodies the spirit of urban art, and his work continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
