Nacido en Palo Alto, California, reside en Barcelona desde pequeño. En los últimos años ha participado en multitud de eventos y muestras de arte urbano por diferentes países. Según el propio artista, el echo de pintar le hace sentirse bien, lo que hace que destaque esta actividad por encima de otras.
Aryz is not only a street artist he is an illustrator, a painter, and more He is a very young artist, currently in his early twenties. He is from Barcelona, Spain and his name has slowly but surely conquered a large fan base.
He is very talented and works with a variety of art methods, never limiting his imagination. His phenomenal style has adapted to indoor and outdoor environments, often creating detailed cartoon-like characters with a strong passion for art. His primary works, for what he is known for, are large and intricate detailed murals created through the use of paint rollers, paint brushes, and spray paint.
Although there are many famous street artist out there, one can not compare Aryz to the rest. Not only has he accomplished what most artists do in centuries, but Aryz has gone beyond what any one ever expected. Aryz just paints to paint, not simple explanation. He truly enjoys his art, and he is not sure one whether to call his work art street art.

Aryz Murals
Large murals have been popping out everywhere over the past years. As a matter of fact, advertisement was once relied on these murals, before billboards and electronic billboards where created. Very talented artists would spend days painting large murals advertising a product or a company.
The difference between paint murals and electronic billboards is that paint murals take hard work to create. Not only are they time-consuming, but their sight are also breath taking. On the other hand, electronic billboards blend in with the commercialized and information age. There is hardly anything special about them.
Aryz has constantly proven his murals to be an effective force. Not only can one see their amazing sight in person, but they can also be seen through-out the internet in many street art blogs, social media websites, and even reporting articles. These pictures also speak for themselves, often showing the true size of the Aryz murals by having an individual standing next to them.

Barcelona artist, Aryz recently returned to Spain after opening his first US solo show at Fifty24SF Gallery and completing two giant murals back to back on the West Coast (San Francisco and Los Angeles). And soon after his return in May, he began to work immediately on another collaborative mural with Vicio in Fraga Spain:

To celebrate the 2nd anniversary at Montana Shop & Gallery, ARYZ was invited to leave some of his process drawings for a small show. After leaving this amazing wall in the heart of Lisboa, his show was packed throughout the night. This kid has skills, and his drawings prove that for his tender age. Check some of the pics from the show and the night of the event inside.

Aryz em Lisboa
Publicado por Mário Ventura em ilustração/pintura
No 2º aniversário da Montana shoop & Gallery Lisboa foi convidado o artista Espanhol Aryz O Espanhol deu vida a uma fachada em Lisboa. Para este projecto acontecer a Montana contou com o apoio da Galeria de Arte Urbana da Camara Municipal de Lisboa (GAU). O prédio encontra-se junto Avenida da Liberdade perto do teatro Tivoli.
Na altura, em entrevista à Time Out Lisboa, Aryz pouco adiantou sobre o significado da obra. “Não gosto muito de rococós ou de grandes mensagens. Gosto de brincar com a cor e com a forma”, afirmou
Assim, cada um tira as suas conclusões. Embora a pintura tenha mais de um ano, só a vi na passada sexta-feira. Enquanto olhava na tentativa de absorver todos os pormenores, um jovem de calções, camisa branca, farta barba preta e copo na mão aproximou-se: “É o cavalo de São Jorge. O castelo está mesmo ali atrás. Está a afogar-se e o espírito está a libertar-se do corpo”, disse. “Esta é a minha interpretação”, ressalvou, sorrindo. Agradeci.

From the active and interesting street art scene of Barcelone we’d like to introduce Aryz. Really skilled graffiti artist, he works with spray paint and paint rollers for his huge works with stunning colors.
AESOP ROCK SKELETHON It's been a pleasure to work on the new Aesop Rock Skelethon's album artwork, by now I just can show the cover... More news soon!

After five years of not putting out a solo effort, Aesop Rock will release his sixth studio album, entitled Skelethon, on July 10th via Rhymesayers. As previously reported, the follow-up to 2007's None Shall Pass was self-produced and mixed by Joey Raia. John Greenham mastered the LP and Barcelona painter Aryz handled the cover art, which can be found above. Tracklist below. Lead single to come soon. In the meantime, maybe you want to relisten to Bavitz's side-project Hail Mary Mallon debut album.

TATS CRU DECLARES " DEATH OF AN ERA" : HOW, NOSM, & ARYZ IN BROOKLYN STREET
Tats Cru Declares “Death of an Era”: How, Nosum & Arz in Brooklyn
Photography © Jaime RojoBronx Tats Cru muralists How and Nosom Perre hit Brooklyn last week with their buddy Aryz to put up a new piece on the side of a deli while stray cats wandered out from the fence next door to take a look. While BSA watched, the guys climbed up and down ladders and showed solid technique like the pros they are.
Photography © Jaime RojoBronx Tats Cru muralists How and Nosom Perre hit Brooklyn last week with their buddy Aryz to put up a new piece on the side of a deli while stray cats wandered out from the fence next door to take a look. While BSA watched, the guys climbed up and down ladders and showed solid technique like the pros they are.
The globe trotting twins born in seaside San Sebastion in the Basque region of Spain grew up in Dusseldorf and fell in love with the New York style of graffiti in their teens. When they joined the Tats Cru in New York in the late nineties they had already proved their skillz as graff artists and begun to explore Street Art and muralist technique.
With Aryz visiting from Barcelona it was a perfect time to hit the streets of Williamsburg and get a piece up before the skies darkened further. “End of an Era” appears to pay tribute to some of hiphop and graffiti culture’s early icons and surround them with a rising tide of blood. A critique of the darker powers of commercialism, it may also be homage to a romantic vision of a dirty and dysfunctional city that increasingly looks Disneyfied. While homogeneity threatens the character of some of our neighborhoods, work like this ensures an expression of individuality that keeps the streets alive.
With one eye on an impending summer storm and another on their wall, the guys busily consulted sketches and wielded their cans in a race against tim

event in Bristol.
First question: why are you making street art?
I paint for fun. I don’t know if street art is the word to define my work. I don’t paint much in the street...
So you don’t like the name street art when it is used about your works?
I don’t really know what it should be called, some people call it graffiti and some other street art. I really don’t care. I started painting graffiti, and then I started doing characters and big walls… I don’t know. I think they are just interventions in outdoor spaces.
Do you make only legal works or also illegal?
Normally I paint in abandoned factories, and it’s legal in a way, in abandoned spaces normally nobody cares , but if police comes… depends on the officer you have to leave or maybe you can stay…Sometimes I have the opportunity to paint a wall with permission, so we do it legally, like here in Katowice.
So generally you make big things? Like a huge format?
It depends, normally if I have a big wall, I paint a big work. But when I can’t find a big wall I paint what I have.
It’s not your first time in Poland. Did you made any works in Poland before this one in Katowice?
Yes, I came to Poland for the first time three years ago or so… I painted in 4 cities. Lublin, Wroclaw, Warsaw and Cracow…. I don’t remember the order in which I painted… but that was different stuff.
Why was it different stuff?
It was long ago… I just did quick things without thinking much what I was doing… I did such bad stuff then… I don’t really want to remember.
What impact would you like to have on the city?
I paint for myself, for having fun. I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t like to do it. If people like it, it’s even better, but it’s not my main purpose.
Talking about your works, what’s your biggest ambition, dream? What would you like to accomplish?
I don’t know. I would like to keep having the same amount of walls that I have now. I guess that my dream would be to become faster, but it’s not so easy.
Was there any shift in your style of works?
Yes, I started painting with graffiti people from my town, they were making letters, and I was making characters between letters. After a while I had a stupid injury in my finger for pressing in a wrong way the spray cans. So I started to use more brush instead of spray. At the same time the guys I was painting with, said that my works were not cool anymore because I was not using spraycans, so we finished our cooperation. After that I started painting for myself, trying to do more characters and big paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?
Everything that surrounds me influences me in a good or bad way.
How do you manage to do works in such a huge format?
It’s practice, it’s not difficult for anybody I think…. It’s just that you need more time to spend. You have to go far to take a look more often because some parts might be smaller that you expected. But at the end it is just a matter of practice.
You are 22 years old, and you sound as if you have been making art for a very long time. When and how did you become interested in this kind of activity?
When I was at high school, I met some guys who were breakdancing and listening to hip hop and I started to hanging around with them , one day they said „let’s go paint some wall”. We went to buy some sprays and we went painting… We just did a really huge mess… I tried to go and fix it the next day… but it ended even worst. Since then it’s been like a personal challenge.
Do you work mostly with a group of people or always alone?
I have a group called „Mixed Media”, it was supposed to be a mixture of techniques. But at the end we just paint with acrylic or spray… not a big deal.
What’s your favourite work that you’ve ever made?
I don’t have any favourite one… I have some works that I really hate :)
