Arlin Graff

Arlin is a Brazilian-born artist whose bold, geometric wildlife murals bring color, energy, and meaning to public spaces worldwide—from São Paulo to New York City.

>His work blends nature and form, structure and soul, transforming animals into vibrant, abstracted symbols that invite reflection on our relationship with the natural world. With projects commissioned by global brands and cities alike, Arlin brings a universal language of movement, balance, and life.

For his Ticonderoga mural, Arlin has chosen to honor a species found in our region—an iconic animal that is sacred and symbolic in Indigenous traditions. This creature plays an important role in the material culture of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Abenaki peoples, representing resilience, protection, and the interconnectedness of life. Its presence in carvings, clothing, and storytelling speaks to its deep spiritual significance, one that Arlin has approached with reverence and care.
