Add Fuel We Choose To Love 2023 Silkscreen Print

Add Fuel, the artistic name of Portuguese artist Diogo Machado, was born in Portugal in 1980 and is internationally recognized for reinterpreting traditional azulejo tile aesthetics through contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. We Choose To Love, released in 2023, is a hand-pulled six color silkscreen print measuring approximately 19.6 x 27.5 inches. The edition is limited to 140 and each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Produced on fine art paper, the work reflects Machado’s disciplined printmaking practice and his ongoing exploration of cultural heritage translated into modern urban visual language. His work consistently bridges historical Portuguese ceramic traditions with contemporary graphic intervention, positioning him as a leading voice in globally recognized Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Azulejo Tradition Reimagined in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

The composition features a repeating blue and white tile pattern reminiscent of traditional Portuguese azulejos, carefully structured in symmetrical geometry. Across this decorative surface, torn paper effects slice diagonally through the design, revealing animated heart characters and expressive graffiti inspired elements beneath. The illusion of ripped layers introduces depth and narrative disruption, contrasting classical ornamental order with playful contemporary symbolism. Add Fuel is known for integrating cartoon like figures, stylized typography, and layered textures into historically influenced frameworks, creating a visual dialogue between preservation and transformation. The restrained blue palette anchored by accents of orange and green enhances the sense of ceramic authenticity while maintaining the crisp clarity characteristic of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Contemporary Messaging and Limited Edition Craftsmanship

We Choose To Love reflects Add Fuel’s interest in embedding optimistic and human centered themes within formal decorative systems. The act of tearing through traditional patterning suggests a break from rigidity while still honoring cultural foundations. As a six color hand-pulled silkscreen, the print demonstrates meticulous registration and saturated ink application, reinforcing its status as a collectible fine art multiple. Limited to 140 signed and numbered impressions, the edition embodies the scarcity model common in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork while maintaining high production standards. Through the fusion of heritage tile design, graphic precision, and positive visual storytelling, Add Fuel continues to expand the global dialogue surrounding modern urban printmaking.
