In this unfiltered long-form conversation, we visit the Cascais studio of Portuguese artist Diogo Machado, better known as ADD FUEL — the mind behind some of Lisbon’s most iconic, pattern-packed murals.
We talk about everything: from the cereal box contest that kickstarted his passion for drawing, to the roots of his now-signature blue tile style, to the challenges (and joys) of running a full-scale art studio with 14 projects on the go.
There’s humor, honesty, and a lot of broken tile. Literally.
This is a raw cut — no heavy edits, just real talk with one of Portugal’s most thoughtful and original creative voices.
