Ethos began work around the age of 15 with spray paint as well as ballpoint pen, which to this day serve as his primary tools. Highly influenced by many of the usual suspects from the Brazilian scene, Os Gemeos, Vitche, Onesto, and Herbert Baglione, Ethos's style has evolved into characters that are some of the most recognised throughout Brazil with his ephemeral work at times straddling the line of the figurative and abstract. His elongated, flexible, and strained figures have an almost liquid quality to them; one foot firmly in the school of the surrealists. His penchant for replicating to scale the fine details of his ink and pencil drawings onto large walls has become his lasting signature.
