GASTON THE PAINTER

Visual Artist & Letterer

HI, I’M GASTON

I’m a visual artist and designer specializing in the art of letters.

From sign painting to calligraphy, murals to custom typography, I bring together tradition and craftsmanship with a contemporary eye.

My work is driven by a love for handmade processes, cultural context, and expressive design.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with brands, cities, and studios across the World, creating pieces that connect with people and places.

I also teach, speak at events, and enjoy sharing the craft and stories behind what I do through workshops & meetups.

Currently in MEL by way of Montevideo, I’m thrilled for new project opportunities and keep spreading the gospel of lettering.

WHAT I DO

SIGN PAINTING

Hand-painted signs with character, precision, and a touch of old-school craft. I create custom lettering for storefronts, windows, walls, and more — all tailored to your business’s personality and space.

MURALS

Large-scale, hand-crafted artworks that transform spaces and tell stories. Whether for public walls, cultural projects, or creative campaigns, I design and paint murals with strong visual identity and human warmth.

WORKSHOPS

Engaging and hands-on workshops for creatives of all levels. I teach practical techniques, share insights from the craft, and create a space for people to explore lettering as a form of expression and design.
