Alberto Porta y Muñoz, (Barcelona, 1946) is a Catalan artist with autodidact formation, known as Zush since 1968 and Evru since 2001.

Porta felt a big attraction for drawing and the human body since he was very young. Son of businessman father and designer mother, he was surrounded by mannequins and drawings of clothes designs. In 1962, at 16 years old, he knew the gallery René Metras and this interests for the young Porta that presents how an artist pop. In this sense, René was an "artistic father" for Porta owing to his support to the start of his career.

In 1964, shares his first study with Jordi Galí and Silvia Gubern where they organised small exhibitions together with Ángel Jové and Antoni Llena. Later this group would know the group of the Jardi del Maduixer. The same year, at René Metras gallery, he showed his work to the public for the first time in the collective exhibition "Presencias of nuestro tiempo".

An exhibition in 1966 titled "Galí, Fried, Porta" was considered by the surroundings how one of the first samples of local Pop.

In 1967 he took part in the Biennial of Sao Paulo with three works: Boso, Fisis y Solomo.
