Carlos Madriz (b. 1972 Caracas – Venezuela)

Born and brought up in Caracas, in the mid-80's Carlos started experimenting with drawing, etching, silk-screen printing, design, painting, and Street Art. At this time, he developed the skills and techniques needed to handle the X-Acto blades that became his constant companion for creating stencils, a defining characteristic of his artwork. He began producing small and medium-size prints, small, medium, and large paintings, and later on murals.
