BerriBlue (born 1992) is a female street artist, painter and fashion designer based in Porto, Portugal.

Biography

BerriBlue grew up in Gdańsk, in northern Poland, and moved to Ireland in 2005 at the age of 13.[1] She attended the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, specialising in fine print.[2] BerriBlue moved to Portugal in 2016,[1] where she started producing street art under the new pseudonym "BerriBlue" and launched a line of illustrated silk scarves.[2]

Work

BerriBlue originally produced street art under the name "JTB".[2][3] In 2012, her work appeared in "Inside Out", an anthology of Irish street art.[4]

BerriBlue's street art work is well known in Porto, dealing with themes such as personal identity, sexuality, mental health, and death.[1] Most of her pieces are pasteups, which are a common sight in Porto city centre[5] and have also appeared in other European cities. Her "Death" project became very popular in 2016, featuring large black skeleton figures painted on walls around the city centre.[6]

Her studio work deals with the same themes as her street art work. She often works on plywood, brown packing paper and newsprint.[1]

She was recognised by Jornal de Notícias as one of Porto's foremost contemporary female illustrators,[7] and she has exhibited with some of Porto's most popular street artists.[8]

In November 2018, her painting "Two Thousand Five", since sold,[9] was featured in Attitude Magazine's "Talk to Me in Flowers" section.[10]

Azulejos

BerriBlue started using the azulejo technique to create street art works in 2019.[11] She currently has pieces in the city centre in both Porto and Lisbon. [12]
She has also sold azulejo pieces internationally, including at auction in DESA, Warsaw, in 2021.[13][14]

Scarves

In 2016, BerriBlue launched a line of illustrated silk scarves with designs based on her work.[2] Rather than merchandise, she considers them to be an extension of her artwork.[7]

She decided to create this line because her mother, who grew up in India, always had silk scarves and she considers them "magical" sentimental objects.[7][21][22]
