Rafael a.k.a. Silks is a Brazilian graffiti artist from São Paulo City. The artist’s hectic work was birthed by the loneliness that pervaded his childhood. Silks work, though often inspired by this singular feeling, is never homogenous. Affected by the urban textures from the city which vary with time, his dense work is an unending trail of colors, that intersects between macro and micro schools of art.

From the walls to the canvas, Silks uses a consistent technique involving layering.

Brazilian street artist Zeh Palito recently produced new murals in Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil. His latest work is about to propel him to a spot amongst some of the strongest international street artists.The 26-year old started tagging in 2001 and painted countless walls from Argentina to South Korea. Palito layers paint onto his walls, with each layer telling part of the fantasy.

Zeh Palito’s work is about creating a positive cycle of equality between man, nature and animals. He generates strong energies by developing visual mythologies that send his viewers into a parallel futuristic universe that celebrates vitality and dynamism. His ability to draw from astrological figures is captivating. His organic abstractions are reminiscent of a trip at to the Planetarium.

Mats, a pivotal figure in the Brazilian street art scene, has been working in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Surrounded by graffiti and pixadores (a kind of graffiti born in Sao Paolo in the ’60s) he slowly began to leave  his figures around the neighborhood. Note how bold and colorful his characters are; they have a lot of aesthetic similarities to graffiti lettering.
