Muralist and Fine Artist | Heesco TM
Khosnaran Khurelbaatar, known by the artist name Heesco™, is a Mongolian-Australian muralist and fine artist, based in Melbourne, Australia. Heesco graduated Sydney College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree in 2005 and since then has cemented his name as one of the leading urban-contemporary artists, specialising in public mural artworks. In a prolific career spanning two decades, Heesco has had 7 solo exhibitions, numerous group exhibitions, and a string of high-profile collaborative projects, with profile features in national and international media and publications.

His artworks stand out effortlessly with his unique concepts, technical brilliance and captivating visuals.
