the artist

Brazilian-born artist José Moura has lived and worked in London for over a decade, drawing inspiration from the city’s cultural and natural intersections. Currently pursuing an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds, he explores human connection and our relationship with the environment through colour, light, and shadow. Living in Walthamstow has deepened his engagement with the balance between nature and urban life. His paintings radiate warmth and introspection, reflecting a dialogue between movement, memory, and the emotional resonance of place.

the story

‘Sombras do Tempo Vivido’ – meaning ‘Shadows of Time Lived’ in Brazilian Portuguese – captures José’s reflections on life between two worlds. As a Brazilian living in England, he often feels both connection and distance, observing how people live and wondering about his own path. In this painting, light and shadow intertwine across Lloyd Park, Walthamstow, echoing that inner dialogue. It’s a portrait of stillness within movement – a quiet moment where memory, belonging, and the passing of time meet.
