Moretz

Born and raised in São Paulo, Moretz is a contemporary Brazilian artist celebrated for a bold fusion of street art, neo-expressionism, and social commentary. Drawing inspiration from the vibrancy of Brazil's urban culture, Moretz first gained prominence through large-scale murals that illuminate cityscapes with explosive color, energetic brushwork, and recurring motifs that bridge the personal and the political. Their work explores themes of identity, resilience, and transformation, evidenced through repeated use of raw, gestural marks and unexpected materials sourced from everyday life.

A self-taught artist, Moretz’s journey began with underground graffiti crews before moving into gallery spaces and international public art festivals, earning acclaim for pushing boundaries and forging emotional connections with audiences. Beyond the visual arts, Moretz engages in educational initiatives, partnering with local youth programs to foster creative expression as a vehicle for social change, and continues to expand their multidisciplinary practice across painting, sculpture, and installation, establishing a unique voice within the Latin American contemporary art scene.
