Artist Statement

Creative director, self-taught photographer and filmmaker based in Lisbon. Xavier Portela started his career as a web developer after studying Multimedia in Belgium.

In 2012, he decided to drop his career as developer and his comfortable position for Bose Europe to work on his own, in order to follow his passion for images and become a photographer.

Since then he is known for his visual onslaught of signs and neon lights series: Glow, an ongoing personal project for which he travels the world to capture various cities at night, inviting us to dive in the atmosphere of those locations.
