Sipros Mural @ 20 Wheeler St.

The Sipros Mural in downtown Lynn is a public artwork by Wellington Naberezny, the Brazilian street artist better known as SIPROS. Sipros comes from São Paulo and started out in the graffiti world in 1997. He became known for his character “Big Ears,” a figure that makes an analogy of children as his source of inspiration and reflection, and the mural is one of the public art stops listed by the Downtown Lynn Cultural District.

Self-taught, Sipros ventured into the technique of realism in 2009, reproducing the faces of both famous and anonymous people. He has taken part in group exhibitions and important graffiti gatherings in Brazil and abroad. His art is not limited to walls: it has also appeared in magazines, commercial projects, television and business franchises. More recently he has been dedicating himself to producing screens of his Big Ears characters.
