Vic Muniz is a Brazilian artist known for his innovative use of unconventional materials to create large-scale photographs that challenge the boundaries between art, perception, and reality. Born in São Paulo in 1961, Muniz initially studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he developed his signature approach of constructing intricate images using everyday objects such as chocolate syrup, garbage, and dust.

Muniz’ work has been exhibited in major institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the São Paulo Museum of Art.
