Chris El Raton

Chris El Raton is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans graffiti, illustration, and multimedia installation. Based in Mexico City, Chris has become known for a vivid, character-driven aesthetic that fuses the rebellious spirit of urban street art with a playful, almost narrative approach to image-making. Drawing inspiration from comic book culture, folklore, and the vibrancy of metropolitan life, Chris El Raton’s pieces feature whimsical rodents and surreal creatures, often in motion, as a means of exploring themes of survival, adaptability, and social commentary.

As a self-taught artist, Chris began painting murals in local neighborhoods before gaining recognition on the international street art circuit, exhibiting in galleries and participating in public art festivals across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. His evolving style continues to bridge the playful and the political, using walls and canvases alike to tell stories that resonate far beyond the streets.
