Hiero Veiga, or Hiero, is a self-taught American contemporary artist specializing in the use of spray paint for large scale murals. With over 21 years of experience, Hiero has evolved from writing graffiti to curating hyper-realistic pieces ranging from portraits, natural scenery, and psychedelic art.⁠ ⁠ Hiero’s unique perspective and experience of light and color is reflected in his distinctive compositions. His current personal work style involves abstract backgrounds and kaleidoscopic designs with Groucho glasses, chattering teeth, and rubber ducks.⁠ ⁠
