Guilherme Matsumoto, known as xGuix, is a Brazilian artist of Japanese descent whose journey in graffiti began in 2007. Since then, he has been building a body of work that reflects his cultural heritage, personal experiences, and universal themes such as mental health, emotions, and the concept of time.

His contributions highlight the strength and relevance of graffiti as an artistic expression in Brazil and beyond.

With a body of work that bridges his roots and the urban context that shaped him, xGuix continues to expand his journey as an artist committed to creating connections through art.
