Mundano began doing street art in the early 2000s.[3] In 2007 he painted graffiti on the legislative assembly plaque in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo. The plaque, which is in the form of a concrete block, is normally grey in color. The São Paulo prefeitura repainted the block in grey, and Mundano repainted the graffiti. This back-and-forth sequence was repeated twenty-five times.[4]

In 2012 he instigated a movement called Pimp My Carroca, working with other artists to paint the carts of Brazilian trash collectors.[5][6][7] The movement is named after the American television show Pimp My Ride.[5]
His São Paulo mural Workers of Brumadinho is a memorial to the 270 miners who died when a dam burst at Minas Gerais, Brazil.[3] In 2021, using ash from fires in the Amazon rain forest, he painted a 1000 square metre mural in São Paulo. He created the work, titled The Forest Brigade, to bring attention to the fires and the resulting deforestation.[8][9][10]
