This collection originates from the series titled “THE BLACKNESS IN ME STAINS (THE BIMS) II”, which rises as an intimate and powerful manifesto - a deep whisper that echoes through memory, wounds, and the silent resistance of Black women across all stages of life. More than an affirmation, this creation is a cry for empowerment: an urgent call for society to look upon the next generations with tenderness, responsibility, and commitment. In this particular piece, the lettering itself carries that message into the night — glowing in the dark, as if refusing to be silenced, even when all else fades.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Amadeo Carvalho

Amadeo Carvalho (b. 1985, São Vicente, Cape Verde) is an artist whose practice emerges from the urgency to express identity, memory, and resistance. Moving fluidly between drawing, music, and the migrant experience, his work developed as a deeply autobiographical and political gesture — where painting, marked by raw color, bold figuration, and text, becomes a space of voice.

Inspired by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, and René Tavares, Amadeo has cultivated a unique visual language rooted in the African diaspora and his personal journey between Cape Verde, Portugal, and the UK. His paintings often blend portraiture with words and instinctive gestures, evoking both personal and collective histories.

He currently balances his painting practice with his role as Creative Director of Noboh Kulture, a brand that uses fashion as a medium for cultural memory. Amadeo has been steadily building a strong presence in the contemporary art scene, with exhibitions in Lisbon, Cape Verde, and the São Tomé Biennale (2024).
