BIO

Niz is a contemporary Peruvian Ukrainian muralist, street artist, and visual storyteller known for her emotionally charged, spiritually grounded public art.

Through large-scale murals, goddess portraiture, and socially engaged creative work, she has spent over 14 years exploring how art can reclaim space, elevate consciousness, and invite deeper connection — to land, lineage, and self.

Raised between Peru and the U.S., Niz is recognized as one of the first female street artists in Austin, Texas, and has since built an international presence painting throughout Latin America and beyond. Her distinctive visual language fuses the rawness of street art with the delicacy of fine painting — merging fluid watercolor techniques and photorealistic stencil work to create magically real murals that function as portals: visually compelling and energetically transformative.

Niz came into the art world through her roots in social work, skateboarding, and urban hip hop culture — early influences that continue to shape her fearless commitment to truth-telling and cultural integrity. Her work is deeply informed by mythology, ecofeminism, music, ancestral memory and the divine feminine. Whether in community spaces, healing environments or city streets, her art invites personal and collective awakening.

She is a member of Few and Far Women, the world’s largest all-female graffiti crew, and a vocal advocate for public art that is inclusive, intentional and unafraid. Her contributions to contemporary muralism and street art have been featured in Street Art by Women, Stencilists, ATX Urban Art, and PBS’s Muraling Austin. Across every canvas, Niz’s practice remains rooted in the belief that beauty — when created with purpose — can be a tool for reclamation, resistance, and deep remembering.

Niz’s current body of work is an exploration of the dark feminine — the shadow side of the sacred, often suppressed or misunderstood in culture, spirit, and self. Her desire to paint transformative, emotionally charged pieces that bring hidden aspects of the psyche to light is rooted in her own lived experience with addiction, healing, and deep inner work. Through muralism, goddess portraiture, and sacred archetypes, she weaves together personal myth with collective memory — offering visual portals for integration, reclamation, and radical self-honesty.

Niz’s work is known for its spiritual gravity, poetic symbolism, and fearless scale. She has painted over 40 public murals in Austin and dozens more throughout Latin America, often in collaboration with grassroots movements, cultural institutions, and international street art collectives. Her large-scale works have appeared in documentary films, public art festivals, and brand campaigns, and she continues to use visual storytelling to shift public space into sacred, emotionally resonant territory. Whether painting in city streets, healing spaces, or cultural landmarks, her practice remains a ceremony of transformation — bold, embodied, and unafraid.
