ECHOES is the latest mural by Diogo Machado, also known as ADD FUEL unveiled in Leeds, UK, serving as a tribute to the rich history and catalogue of Burmantofts Pottery. The mural draws inspiration from the city’s cultural heritage and aims to resonate deeply with the local community.
ADD FUEL is a Portuguese visual artist known for his work, which is inspired by traditional tile design, particularly the Portuguese tin-glazed ceramic azulejo, and urban visual culture. His compositions combine traditional decorative elements with contemporary visual references, creating a unique and harmonious aesthetic.

The artist’s process of research, reevaluation, redesign, and recreation shines through in this immersive cultural creation. The intention behind ECHOES is to be both truly unique and deeply familiar, echoing the past while vividly existing in the present. It’s a testament to the artist’s dedication to preserving and reimagining the immense cultural patrimony of the area.
