Born in Poland, Mariusz Waras, better known as M-City, is one
of the best-known street artists on the international scene. His creative production is characterised by the use of
Stencils, a technique that has made him famous all over the world. He is a lecturer at the Szczecin Academy of Arts, where he
conducts the Painting and Street Art Course at the Department of Painting and
New Media, from the next academic year he will also teach the Street Art Course
for the Department of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts of Gdansk, where
he graduated. In addition to his academic work, he carries out graphic design
and illustration activities and builds spatial installations and large-format
sculptures. As a street artist, he animates the space with the narration
of different stories, where the main subject is always the metropolis, with its
infinite variations. His production retains a stylistic emblem that is
structured thanks to two distinct inspirations: the first brings us closer to a
playful atmosphere, that of videogames, the other of a geopolitical nature that
emphasizes the need for a critical approach towards society; thus the artist
makes it possible for us to understand how geographic reasons influence
political action.
The M-City project which today includes seven hundred murals
he painted all over the world, his works are visible in the major cities and
nations of the world: Slovenia, Germany, Poland, Brazil, Spain, Thailand,
England, Belgium, France, Australia, Serbia, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Finland,
USA, Tunisia and more.
