Mauro 'Muretz' is a Brazilian artist mostly known for his graffiti and street art work. Born in São Paulo, Mauro grew up in the country side and at the age of 16 he got expelled from school for depicting ‘profane and indecent art’. Soon Muretz had to start earning a living, doing exactly what got him kicked out: drawing.

Few years later young Muretz enrolled into college, which only got him frustrated. He abandoned the course in disgust and left his country with his little money savings, travelling to the UK where he got stablished as freelance artist.

After returning back to Brazil, Muretz started painting on the streets. His graffiti works have been featured on many art publications around the world. The artist currently lives in São Paulo city and travels the globe wherever his skills are demanded.
