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

For José, light is life itself. Growing up in Brazil, the sun has always been part of his rhythm – a source of warmth, energy, and joy. In ‘Vida’, painted in Lloyd Park, Walthamstow, he captures that vitality through bold strokes of gold, orange, and blue, where sunlight moves across trees and path. The painting celebrates the brilliance of summer days – an expression of how light shapes space, and how place, in turn, shapes the spirit.
