Owner of a strong identity, with a striking and spontaneous line. This is Bruno Carneiro Mosciaro, better known as Bruno Big, or just known as Big, from Rio de Janeiro, born in 1980 and who stands out for being a multidisciplinary artist. Passionate about art and the sensation from it provokes, over years of research he managed to develop his own language and style and, thanks to it, he secured recognition in the country and abroad.
His presence on the streets is remarkable. He likes the challenge and the response it offers. The search for the space to be painted, as well as the adaptation to different supports and the interaction of the people ho walk the streets while he creates, generates an energy that is fundamental for Big as an artist. At the same time, the academic experience has a strong participation in his routine. As graduated in Visual Communication course at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ), he is also a specialist in the History of Brazilian Art, along his studies in the area of Brazilian engraving Arts, and, together with rofessor and plastic artist Thereza Miranda, he teaches and supports classes on Engraving Arts knowledge for more than ten years on the same university where he has been graduated.
F1 Trophy
The art of the trophy and podium of the Grand Prix of Interlagos in São Paulo of F1 2022
Digital arts were developed for the podium and scenography. An art was created for the trophy that was hand painted directly on the trophy.
The Cable Car was one of the most special projects I've ever done. First for the honor of painting this important and beloved place in my hometown, second for being a very challenging logistics.
WATER SERIES
Drawings made with colored pencils on Hahnemuhle paper. Series created about the human and animal relationship with water. My favorite element.
PAN AMERICAN GAMES OF SANTIAGO - CHILE
I was invited by the Brazilian Olympic Committee to develop some artwork for the athletes' space at the Pan American Games that took place in Santiago, Chile in 2023.
Vulica Brazil
It was amazing to take my art and paint this panel and also be able to do it alongside such interested people. Very committed organizers and volunteers always willing to work and carry out this event, thank you for showing me your culture! It's great to meet some friends and even better make new ones!
Thank you! Special thanks to my team!
About the panel, When I was invited I wanted to do something very colorful and with a good message. After some sketches I came up with the idea of the woman taking care of her garden. This led me to the poetry of Mario Quintana that says in one part:
"The secret is not to take care of the butterflies, but to take care of the garden so that they come to you."
Which is a metaphor about taking care of yourself and looking in yourself for the person to love that good things will return. Take good care of yourself, of those around you that good things will come.
Rock in Rio
Rock in Rio is part of Rio's history, the biggest festival in Brazil! I've watched great shows since I was a teenager at this festival, being part of the 2022 edition was amazing!

Exposição Memória
The exhibition “Memória”, by the artists Thereza Miranda and Bruno Big, was held at the Arthur Fidalgo Gallery with engravings of various techniques, made from photographs, known as photogravures.
This exhibition celebrates Brazilian engraving, showing works by two artists from different generations, who work and teach engraving and printing techniques, keeping alive the tradition of engraving in Rio de Janeiro. His works are full of memories, places, people, the mountains of Rio, its architecture and its nature, memories that were recorded and synthesized printed on paper.

Street River
Street River is a very special project, taking place in the Amazon and taking urban art to the riverside people of Ilha do Combú, located on the Guamá River in front of Belém do Pará.
Created by Sebá Tapájos, the Street River Institute goes beyond the initiative of bringing art to Combú Island, its main intention is to bring attention to the condition of the riverside people who live mainly from what they extract from the river and the forest. Through partnerships with companies and NGOs, the project can make improvements to the site, such as the implementation of ecological toilets, distribution of filters to make drinking water and even the installation of solar panels to capture energy for the local school, since the lack of light is something evident in the place.
Bruno Big was invited to be part of the team of artists who participated in the event in June 2018. Among them, artists from several places in Brazil and one from Germany. He had the pleasure of painting the house of a family where Bob and Sara, parents of 4 boys, live. Arthur, the youngest, was the artist's main assistant. The father builds boats and it was his request to create a hammer shark on the side of the house where he works. On the other side, the panel symbolizes the family and the upbringing of children.
The experience and immersion in the local culture make Street River a unique art event, where artists and local people exchange and interact very closely. Learning is immense and ends up influencing artists in their creations and lives.
Ourcq Living Colors -Nuance Musicale
Panel painted together with the great French artist BATSH for the Street Art festival in Paris More about this source textSource text required for additional translation information
Arte-Core is a traditional event in the Rio de Janeiro scene. It takes place in the gardens of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro and has a large audience as it is free and open to all ages. With urban art as its focus, the event brings to its audience music, skateboarding, workshops and, of course, a lot of art.
Big was invited to paint the 8m x 6m panel that will be on display until next year for Arte Core 2019.
Below is the text made by the artist about his work:
Homage to the old masters of painting and their wisdom.
The compositions known as Vanitas (Vanity) can be seen in the creations of different artists at different times and places in the history of art.
Based on classic still life paintings, these compositions bring symbols and elements that represent the vanity, ego and ephemerality of life.
An invitation to the observer's self-analysis about his ego, his character and how his attitudes reverberate in his life and after the passage to the other plane, since we don't take anything material over there.
What do you want to be remembered for?

Pista de Skate
The tracks signed by Rio Ramp Design are every skater's dream. Park and street side by side, were designed from skater to skater. The guys are great!
In order to create a painting to accompany the event's identity but also to hinder the athlete's performance, it was necessary to work with a simpler and more punctual language.
Many thanks to my painting team who were very good at this project. Production by Carol Lyra and assistance from Grabriel “Simo” and João “No tooth” who share with on site, under the sun and rain!
