Carlão Bernini

I am originally from São Paulo’s North Zone and am a graphic designer and illustrator by training. I began my journey into graffiti and muralism in 2013, encouraged by a close friend and fellow artist who showed me the way to get started. Since then, I have been honing my techniques and knowledge through exchanges at street art and hip-hop events, meeting new artists and discovering new spaces, themes, and diverse audiences.
I have conducted interviews and executed large-scale projects, allowing me to professionalize and mature as an artist. Living in this world means constantly learning. I have participated in regional and state gatherings and continuously organize classes and workshops at educational institutions and within communities to share knowledge with more people of all ages—empowering individuals through art and education.
I founded the *Odisseia de Tinta* (Ink Odyssey) project, which involves traveling across Brazil and the world; I trade my mural work to fund my backpacking expenses. To date, I have created murals in 34 countries and various Brazilian states. I continue to draw and create new ways of communicating through art, always seeking to tackle new challenges and opportunities.
My educational background includes degrees in Graphic Design and Visual Communication from Panamericana de Artes e Design (São Paulo), a Bachelor’s in Industrial Design from FAAP, and studies in Animation and 2D Graphic Illustration at Panamericana. I hold a postgraduate degree in Editorial Design from IED and have specialized in Typography, Music Industry Design, Creativity, Packaging, Infographics, and Strategic Design at Central Saint Martins (London), as well as a postgraduate degree in Art History from FAAP. Since 2013, I have been active in muralism and graffiti, regularly participating in street art gatherings and public space revitalization projects.
