Albert Porta adopted the artistic personality of Zush in 1968 while a patient in a psychiatric institution. Admitted for 'maladjustment to the environment', it was here that a fellow patient baptized him with his new identity. Later, during the solo exhibition presented at MACBA, Zush. Tecura, in 2001,he announced that Zush became Evru, a neologism that condenses the concepts of artist, scientist and mystic. From then on and until his death, in September 2025, he was known by this name.

Zush/Evru's work is characterised by the construction of a personal and autobiographical mythology, based on images that seem to overflow and the creation of his own style of writing, leading to multiple parallel universes that maintain a subtle balance where the rationale of the composition barely keeps chaos in check. The desire to desacralise the figure of the artist, together with his other diverse interests, had led Zush to use multiple supports and to collaborate regularly with creators of different disciplines, such as designers, writers and musicians. Zush/Evru connected with the psychedelic movement and its aspiration to open the doors of perception. He was always interested in exploring imaginary states in which usual categories are blurred and different worlds are created.
