About Us
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Mario Ramirez aka Mario Tosti is currently based in
Jersey City, New Jersey. He studied in the School of Fines Arts of Puerto Rico (Escuela
de Artes Plásticas de PR) completing a Bachelor’s Degree in the Department of Image
and Design in 2005. During this time he also had the opportunity to teach students in
this Department given his knowledge in the field. In 2013 he creates and directs
Tostfilms, a personal project which focuses mostly on the documentation and
creation of Urban Art. With this project he has been able to work side by side with
many international artists/muralists worldwide. These include Alexis Díaz, KOBRA,
Faith 47, INTI, Seth GlobePainter, ADDfuel among many other renowned artists. This
has brought him the opportunity to document mural projects in Abu Dhabi,
Dominican Republic, USA, Puerto Rico, Peru and Mexico. In 2017, in partnership with
the Museo de las Americas, he organized his rst mural festival Extra Muros: Urban
Art Biennale in Puerta de Tierra, San Juan, Puerto Rico, offering community
workshops with artists from Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. Among his many
talents he is also currently assisting other artists in the mural making process. In 2024
he paints his first solo mural in Oaxaca, Mexico during his stay in Huellas de Tilcajete
residency.
