GonçaloMAR BIO
The appeal has been constant; it was only a matter of time before MAR's interpretation of the environment in which he works had to be painted.
At age 12 he was already drawing figures of his imagination with chalk on the asphalt. Over the years his career choice was natural. During his academy course—he graduated in Fashion Design at F.A.L.—he applied for a position at a Portuguese animation studio, “Magic Toons,” as a drawer. It was around this time, in 1998, that he had his first experience with graffiti.
Since then, moved by his artistic convictions, MAR has sought constant evolution together with the graffiti movement—one that is evolving globally. He also works with different national fashion brands. Known for his distinctive characters, he stands out for the way he builds them, giving them lines and shapes that make them unique.

- MAR is one of the first professional graffiti artists in Portugal, after quitting his job as a fashion designer for the Portuguese brand Station
- You can see MAR's artwork in more than 28 countries around the world
- Since 2002 MAR has participated in 42 exhibitions between art galleries and museums and produced 37 graffiti street art group exhibitions.

During his artistic path he has become friends with and painted on walls alongside giants of graffiti and world street art such as Sainer, C215, Robert Proch, Os Gêmeos, Risk, Bellin, Magrela, Case and Tasso from the Maclaim Crew among many others famous in the international graffiti scene.
From the Portuguese scene MAR painted with Ram, Nomen, Utopia, Vhils, Odeith, Bray, Klit, Mais Menos and many more. Being part of the two most active and futuristic crews in Portugal: Tunders Crew and Arm Collective, this one with Ram only.

Since 2015 until today, the artist has created installations, murals and canvases which are acquired by galleries and collectors all around the world and has created countless graffiti commissions for all kinds of brands and companies.

Recently distinguished by the local authority that saw him grow as an artist, with the Medal of Cultural Merit.
Nowadays, his artistic goal is to explore new urban spaces that graffiti can still offer.
