Tomaz Viana (Toz, dit)

Originally from Salvador, Tomaz Viana, known as Toz, now lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Specializing in urban art, the artist's joyful, colorful universe has made its way into the collections of museums and galleries. His imagination is built around references to popular culture, his cultural heritage and his everyday life, giving life to characters rich in personality and part of real narratives that often enter into dialogue with the place in which they are created. Since 2014, the artist has had the opportunity to exhibit in a number of institutions, both in Brazil and abroad, including a solo show in 2015 at the Mairie du XIIIe arrondissement in Paris.
