About Los

Every sale pays Los directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Los tomatos emerges from the experimental and punk-influenced underground of Lisbon during the 1990s and early 2000s. The name is historically linked to a recurring project at the Zé dos Bois (ZDB) gallery, a multidisciplinary art center known for its collective-driven approach and raw creative energy. This background in the Portuguese scene establishes a foundation of non-conformist expression and collaborative production. The name also connects to the Berlin-based collective Kulturlabor Trial & Error e.V., focusing on creative activism and social-cultural interventions. This practice emphasizes upcycling and the repurposing of materials, moving away from traditional gallery formats toward community-engaged work. The resulting output reflects a history of underground music, DIY ethics, and environmental consciousness.
