Rafael Sliks is an artist born in São Paulo (1981) where he grew up observing street signs through the crack in the gate of his house in the Bela Vista neighborhood. This influence on his creative process and the unique way he uses street writing in his art is what makes him a globally recognized Street Writer. His murals and paintings on canvas can be seen in various places around the world, having participated in publications, festivals, art fairs and exhibitions in the United States, Asia and Europe. He recently had a solo exhibition in Japan and a mural on the gable of a building in the metropolis where he was born.
