''Born in 1988 in São Paulo, Brazil. Currently lives in São Paulo, Brazil.

Dante Horoiwa is a self-taught artist. The Japanese-Brazilian artist was a professional commercial illustrator at the age of 15. At the same time, he was painting on the streets of São Paulo amidst the powerful murals of one of the most exciting urban art landscapes in the world.
Liberdade, the “Japantown” of São Paulo, is his favorite neighborhood. Japanese culture, history and philosophy play an important role in his strong sense of spirituality, transmitted through painting. For him, painting is a tool to expand consciousness. With the vocabulary of his spiritual journey and the energy of the urban landscape, Horoiwa has developed his own unique language.
His work has been exhibited in Brazil, the Netherlands, Australia and California. Recently, Horoiwa's work was exhibited in Transfer at the Brazilian Cultural Pavilion in São Paulo, an exhibition showcasing Brazilian contemporary art over the past two decades.''
