Estêvão Silva da Conceição lives in Paraisópolis, one of the most populated favelas of São Paulo. He spends his life working as a janitor in a luxury condominium.

In his spare time, Estêvão decorates his own house with pieces of ceramic, broken toys, bottle tops and other urban junk. There is something of Gaudí in his work.

This year, which commemorates the 150 th anniversary of the Catalan architect's birth, Estêvão has been invited to discover Barcelona.
