O'GRINGO, whose real name is Bastien Tomasini, was born in 1966 in Nice. He is a contemporary artist who redefines the art of Portuguese azulejos through an innovative and personal approach. By integrating ancestral techniques into his modern vision, he creates unique works on earthenware tiles that evoke both tradition and contemporaneity.

Born in France, Bastien Tomasini developed a passion for Portuguese culture from a young age, particularly influenced by fado. This melancholic music, full of stories of love and separation, nourishes his artistic inspiration and encourages him to explore deep and emotional themes in his work.

Through his creations, O'GRINGO manages to capture the raw emotion of his personal feelings, transforming each tile into a medium rich in meaning. His works thus become visual stories, where past and present meet in a form of sensory art. Each piece invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the soul and history of Portugal, while offering a contemporary aesthetic experience.

O'GRINGO has built a reputation as an innovative artist, engaging in a dialogue between the tradition of azulejos and modern elements. His work is not limited to decoration: it evokes emotions and reflections that touch a wide audience. Bastien Tomasini, through O'GRINGO, continues to evolve the art of azulejos, demonstrating his passion for a rich culture while reinterpreting it for future generations.
