Lisbon, Portugal
Pantónio (Antonio Correia) is a Portuguese street artist recognized for his flowing, dynamic murals populated by elongated animal and human forms. His work is heavily inspired by movement, nature, and the ocean, often creating large-scale compositions that seem to ripple across buildings and urban landscapes.
A mural created for the ESTAU festival in Estarreja depicting stylized trees transformed into Pantónio’s signature flowing, chimera-like forms. The work blends natural elements with his characteristic monochrome palette and expressive motion.
