Mauricio graduated with a Bachelor Degree of Visual Arts & Computer Graphics in 2001 at University of Tuiuti Parana, Brazil. He has also completed a Post-Graduation in School Administration & Visual Arts in 2004 at FAE Business School in Curitiba, Brazil and a Diploma of Visual effects & Motion Graphics in 2009 at Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand.

Operating from his studio in Te Awanga, Hawke’s Bay, he established Studio Benega Ltd—a creative company specialising in a wide range of artistic projects. From exhibitions and murals to workshops, illustrations, and design, the studio offers a diverse array of creative services. Additionally, it undertakes signage, project management, commissions, and, of course, original paintings, bringing artistic visions to life.

He believes knowing more techniques and tools helps with the creative process. Working on different projects and experimenting, is a good way to keep yourself fresh and inspired.

Mauricio’s work can be found in collections in NZ, Brazil, Australia, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, USA, Bali and Singapore.

He has participated in more than 30 Art and Comic contests around the world.
