✨ Story & Meaning
Jeans de Sampa is a visual tribute to the city of São Paulo — a vast, dynamic metropolis woven from contrasts and possibilities. Like a pair of worn jeans, the city bears its scars, patches, beauty, and resilience. It’s a concrete jungle where stories are layered, rebuilt, and reimagined.

This piece captures the soul of São Paulo: imperfect, vibrant, diverse, sometimes cold, but always welcoming. Painted on a repurposed Brazilian truck tarp, the work incorporates real textures and timeworn marks from the road, reflecting a city full of movement, emotion, and human authenticity.

🌿 About the Truck Tarp
This material is traditionally used in Brazil to cover and protect freight during long hauls. Its natural wear — including seams, patches, small holes, and stains — tells a story of real journeys. Now repurposed into a work of art, the tarp becomes a powerful, durable, and meaningful artistic surface with a cultural soul and longevity of over 100 years.
