About

AkaCorleone (Ricardo Galo) is a Portuguese visual artist and illustrator known for his bold, surreal, and highly graphic style that blends street art aesthetics with contemporary illustration and design.

His work often features fragmented figures, distorted typography, and vibrant compositions that explore themes of identity, perception, and modern visual culture. Drawing from graffiti roots and digital illustration, AkaCorleone creates a distinctive language that bridges fine art, commercial design, and urban intervention.

He has developed work across murals, printmaking, editorial illustration, and large-scale installations, establishing himself as one of the most recognizable Portuguese voices in contemporary visual art.
