±MAISMENOS±
Portugal
Miguel Januário (b. 1981) has been developing graffiti interventions in urban spaces since 1999, when he started the Communication Design course at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto.
He established himself as a freelancer integrating the cultural space ‘Maus Hábitos’, in Porto, where he created a studio and developed many of his projects.
In 2005, he created an intervention project called ±MaisMenos±, which became a reference in the national and international street art panorama. From 2011 to 2013 he worked as an artistic director at Ivity Brand Corp. Since 2014, he dedicates himself almost exclusively to ‘±’, taking the project to other countries, while making a standpoint in the Portuguese and international art scene.
Under the ±MaisMenos± flag, he has been producing thought-provoking, cutting-edge work both indoors and outdoors in a variety of media – from video to sculptural installations, from painting to performance.
