About the Artist

Cusco Rebel is a multidisciplinary visual artist who sees art as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Born in Rio Grande (RS) and living in São Paulo for 12 years, he has built a unique career, marked by the fusion of diverse techniques and media, always in search of the unexpected. His work reflects his restlessness and his need to express a critical and sensitive view of the world, mixing urban influences, surrealism and symbolic elements.

From an early age, Cusco Rebel showed an interest in art, experimenting with different materials and languages. His education was self-taught, guided by curiosity and the desire to explore visual expression in a free and autonomous way. His artistic journey took shape on the streets, where graffiti and urban intervention became his first major tools of communication. Over time, he expanded his repertoire, adding acrylic painting, stencil, collage, assemblage and spraypaint to his creative arsenal.

This intense experimentation means that his work is not limited to canvases or walls, but also invades new media. Cusco Rebel re-signifies objects, furniture, accessories and even cars, transforming everyday items into true works of art. For him, any surface can be a space for expression, and this approach helps his work reach a variety of audiences and contexts, bringing art closer to real life.

His most striking symbols, such as skulls and flying boats, are central elements in his visual narrative. Skulls emerge as an irrefutable reminder of equality: without color, gender or status, they represent the universal essence of human existence. “In the end, everyone is a little skull,” the artist provokes, reinforcing his discourse on the transience of life and the illusion of social differences.

Flying boats, in turn, symbolize freedom, dreams and the journey of life. The concept “Boat of Dreams”, one of the pillars of his creation, represents a playful journey through existence, an invitation to see life with lightness and poetry, but also as a constant challenge to reality. “This is the subversive power of art that fascinates me so much: creating new realities!”, says Cusco Rebel. For him, art has the potential to deconstruct paradigms and transform perceptions, offering new ways of understanding the world around us.

The expansion of his art has led him to cross borders, leaving his signature on alleys in Venice Beach, California, as well as on iconic buildings and spaces in New York and Wynwood, Miami. His creations, always full of identity and symbolism, have won admirers in several countries, consolidating his name on the international urban art scene.

In addition to his interventions in urban spaces and objects, Cusco Rebel also dedicates himself to producing exhibitions and collaborating with other creative areas. His work has been presented in galleries and cultural events, and his collaborations with brands and designers have taken his unmistakable aesthetic to new territories. He believes that art should not be restricted to a niche, but rather be accessible and engage with different realities and audiences.

With an authentic style and a visual language that combines irreverence and depth, Cusco Rebel continues to expand his art into new territories, exploring materials, supports and concepts. His trajectory is a testament to the power of creativity and artistic freedom, proving that expression knows no limits and that art can transform spaces, perspectives and perceptions wherever it goes.
