Mateu Velasco's style is aesthetically delightful - He was born in New York but moved to Rio when he was very young.

Mateu has developed a highly unique and poetic style, incorporating urban realities and images into his abstract and somewhat mystical murals, which almost always feature tentacles.

Out of these tentacles, appear words, drops, clouds, cutlery and flowers, creating an ephemeral world, where the urban and contemporary are fused with the colorful and abstract imagination.
