Francisco Vidal ( ° Lissabon, 1978 ) is een Portugees kunstenaar met Afrikaanse ouders. Hij brengt in zijn werk vaak een dialoog tot stand tussen de koloniale en postkoloniale tijd. Zijn composities zetten aan tot nadenken over vrijheidsstrijd, discriminatie en trauma. Vidal is het meest bekend om zijn schilderijen en tekeningen die gedurfde kleuren en patronen, zowel als losse penseelstreken  samenbrengen op handgeschept papier of canvas, vaak samengevoegd tot installaties. Het werk van de kunstenaar vermengt op speelse wijze verschillende esthetische invloeden, waaronder kubisme, Afrikaanse was-print textiel en 1980 hip-hop cultuur, evenals hedendaagse graffiti en street art. In dit schilderij gaat de kunstenaar op zoek naar de verbindingen en knooppunten van culturen en de verschillende invloeden di zijn pad hebben bepaald.

Le travail de l'artiste mêle de manière ludique diverses influences esthétiques, notamment le cubisme, les textiles africains imprimés à la cire et la culture hip-hop des années 1980, ainsi que le graffiti contemporain et l'art de la rue. Dans cette peinture, l'artiste explore les liens et les croisements entre les cultures et les diverses influences qui ont façonné son parcours.
