Frederico Draw, known simply as Draw, is a Porto-born urban artist and architect who has become one of the key names associated with realism in Portuguese graffiti. Born in 1988, he studied Architecture at FAUP and developed a distinctive way of using spray cans as if they were brushes, translating anonymous faces and human expressions into large-scale portraits. His work is closely connected to the transformation of neglected urban spaces, giving them new artistic identity and cultural value. A member of the RUA collective since 2011, Draw also works as an artist and project curator, combining street art with a strong interest in the people and places that shape the city.
