Art in Designer Hotels
Art is often seen in galleries and museums worldwide. Rarely do we get a chance to see it in the hospitality industry like hotels. That’s why we were more than trilled to create this beautiful artwork for one of the Marriot hotel brands in El Segundo, California, The Fairfield Inn. The area near Los Angeles airport is a bustling area that attracts visitors worldwide. We had the amazing opportunity to really transform this wall into something new, creating new interest and excitement to all those that visit the hotel. During the process of painting this mural, we met so many people who took photos of this beautiful artpiece. We realized how beneficial it is to bring art to hotels.
Each topic deserves its own blog post. I will elaborate further in future posts but here are a few reasons why bringing art to your hotel is vital to its success! Here are a few reasons why it is important.
We hope you enjoyed these tips!

Explore this amazing luxury oceanfront Miami home, designed by DiMare Design, featuring exquisite artwork and a curated collection that seamlessly blends with the refined interior. Discover the distressed floral motifs adorning the polished concrete-like walls and the captivating abstract minimalism of our large painted canvas pieces.
Take the full MIAMI LUXURY HOME TOUR to experience the fusion of luxury interior design and our remarkable art collection in Miami. The entire home’s art collection was curated by DiMare Luxury Interiors.
The two artworks featured were some of our first abstract art commissions for Deborah’s home. We were so thrilled about really captivating the essence and beauty of abstract art in this Miami waterfront luxury home. The views of the ocean are awe inspiring and Deborah’s design choices were very elegant and refined.
Check out the full home tour here:
Color Dreamers Art Collection | Vegan Luxury Interior Design Miami Tour
This commission was one of our most special one because it challenged two aspects of our artistry.
For the mural on the distressed concrete wall, we created 5 samples using a variety of mediums in our Miami art studio. Deborah picked the one she felt would fit best with the interior design of the home. We returned with two large abstract artworks. The result was surreal and when we brought the artworks for install day, they blended well with the surroundings and harmonized the entire space.
My favorite part of the process was really pushing ourselves to create elegance in simplicity. Creating abstract artwork is a multi-layered process. The artist must fully immerse themselves in art and let the hands and imagination flow. The best part of abstract art is you can always see something new in the gentle brushstrokes.

Beautiful Staircase Mural at Bezel Miami
In Miami World Center, Moinian developers have turned Bezel apartments into an interactive art installation. This world class art collection is to be admired and adored. In the world of luxury developments, art has become an increasingly important tool for innovation. Art can enhance the appeal of a building and increase the value of the property. It creates a sense of place and enjoyment. Collecting artworks among developers is becoming the most unique and distinctive way to connect residents to the art world. For this reason Bezel integrates architecture and art by creating a stunning building that is memorable from the moment you walk in.
Recently, Bezel luxury apartments unveiled a massive staircase mural created by The Color Dreamers artist duo. The work was created in collaboration with the award winning Hospitality Design group One Line Design. The abstract artwork can be seen towering over two floor levels. The massive mural drips down the wall to the lower level creating a puddle of paint down below. The painted art enhances the communal space and can be viewed from many angles giving a new perspective to the viewer.
The Color Dreamers recently described their artwork Halo Dance at Bezel as “The beauty of Halo Dance lies in its ability to evoke emotions, stimulate the mind, and challenge the way we perceive the world around us. The abstract artwork is encased in glass, steel and marble which is integrated into the architecture of Bezel.”
At its core, abstract art is an exploration of form, color, and line. It seeks to convey complex ideas and emotions through non-representational means, allowing the viewer to engage with the work on a deeply personal level. By distilling visual elements down to their purest form, abstract art creates a unique and dynamic language that transcends traditional boundaries. Additionally, another aspect of the beauty of abstract art is its ability to inspire introspection and self-reflection. Abstract art often provides a space for the viewer to contemplate their own thoughts and emotions, encouraging a deeper exploration of the inner self.
To make this staircase mural truly unique we created a few samples and renderings in order to decide on the final artwork to be painted. Here are just a couple of the 5 samples that were made to create the staircase mural.
Miami World Center is at the core of art and innovation. It is a massive mixed-use development project located in downtown Miami, Florida. Encompassing nearly 30 acres of land, the project represents one of the largest private real estate developments in the United States, and has been described as a “city within a city.” The Miami World Center project was first proposed in 2006, and after several years of planning and development, construction on the site began in 2016. The project is being developed by a consortium of private investors and real estate developers, and is expected to cost upwards of $4 billion dollars upon completion. Miami World Center is located just down the street from Perez Art Museum and Bayfront Park.
The most innovative city in America is now making waves as the epicenter of art and luxury
The Color Dreamers were the first artists to create artworks for the Miami World Center development. The first artwork created by the team for Bozzuto development Caoba is a stunning city-scape mural. The second set of murals were created for Parkline lobby and common areas. The Color Dreamers continues to exceed expectations as one of the most diverse artist collaborations. Their artworks have been featured in various museum exhibitions, publications and commercials. The duo consists of Amir Shakir and Ivette Cabrera who met over a decade ago in living in their art studios across from one another in Wynwood. They described the city in a recent publication.
“Miami is the epicenter for the future of art. We aren’t going anywhere, we love it here. We were part of the Wynwood Arts District development and we plan to continue the art to other areas and developments that appreciate artists and their efforts in molding the future of Miami.”
In conclusion, we look forward to Miami’s bright future. Inspired by the art and developments like Bezel that make Miami the most unique city in America. The Color Dreamers and Bezel showcase the beauty of living in Miami, surrounded by art, paradise and luxury living. Miami is expected to surpass Dubai as the most innovative city in America.

TOP POOL DECK MURALS
Miami is a city renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and luxurious poolside parties. However, it doesn’t stop there. Miami is also globally recognized for its abundance of artistic murals. It boasts the highest concentration per square mile compared to any other city in the world. There is a big rise of new condominiums and skyscrapers. Now artists are seizing the opportunity to create even more impactful and awe-inspiring works.
Among the various neighborhoods in Miami, Wynwood Arts District stands out as a hub of large-scale art that has ignited a worldwide phenomenon. It is here that the match was struck, setting ablaze the mural art movement across the globe. Now, allow us to present our curated collection of the most intriguing and cutting-edge poolside murals from The Color Dreamers, showcasing the pinnacle of artistic expression in Miami.
BASQUIAT INSPIRED PENTHOUSE POOL DECK MURAL
The presence of art near water pools holds significant importance, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics and ambiance. Art has the remarkable ability to enhance and transform spaces. When paired with water pools, it adds an extra dimension of visual appeal and sensory experience.
Perched atop a private top-floor penthouse in Miami resides one of Miami’s most prestigious art collector, whose renowned collection is of such grandeur that a museum was established in Argentina to house a portion of it. Leaving the intrigue of the collector’s identity to the reader, we turn our attention to a striking Baquiat-inspired interpretation within this exceptional dwelling. Situated on the ocean side, this penthouse has a panoramic view of the southern, eastern, and western reaches of Miami’s Bal Harbour, offering a breathtaking vista. The artwork itself resonates powerfully, elevated above the world in the most opulent condominium Miami has to offer. What sets Oceana apart is its distinctive feature—each unit owner possesses a stake in the prestigious Oceana art collection, giving them an unparalleled ownership experience unrivaled by any other Miami condominium.
The idea is one of kind and impressive as an in house museum.
The first floor of Oceana Bal Harbour will open to two grand lobbies with 22-foot vaulted ceilings enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass. The lobby, masterfully designed by world-renowned Italian designer Pierro Lissoni, will house 10 museum-quality masterpieces of modern art from around the world.

GRAFFITI INSPIRED MIAMI POOL DECK MURALS
A great place for a custom piece of art is the pool deck at a Miami luxury apartments in the center of the city like Miami Midtown5. We had the pleasure of working on this pool deck mural for one of the amenities area. Residents can relax with world class art at their side.
The idea for this mural was to mix a younger generation with contemporary new art forms such as graffiti. This mural took many forms. We created a posterized art stencil with street style. The two artworks here play with the cool blue hues of the pool and the green reflective glass.
Tropical and busy, Midtown Miami is everything you love about Miami and more. Located on Biscayne Bay and featuring that distinctively pastel color palette Miami is so famous for, Midtown is more than palm trees and ocean views. This is Miami’s place to shop, home to the Shops and Midtown, a huge outdoor shopping district. It is directly south of the Miami Design District and Miami Wynwood Arts District.
Midtown Miami contains two distinctive neighborhoods, Wynwood and Edgewater. Wynwood is famous for its shops, restaurants, and outdoor murals. Edgewater is far more residential, providing a variety of high-rise apartment buildings and luxury condos along Biscayne Bay. Miami Beach is directly east of Midtown Miami, roughly four miles away along I-195.
Afterall, there were many iterations of this mural before we arrived to the final artwork. It was a pleasant journey working with spray paint and stencils. The best part was that we got the opportunity to meet with the main developer for the building which was a very nice man with a big charming character. We were very grateful to be part of the team.
The Bozzuto team was very happy with the artwork!
Overall, art in public spaces enriches our lives, stimulates our senses, and enhances the quality of our urban environments. It fosters a sense of identity, encourages community engagement, and contributes to the overall well-being of people.

HOTEL POOL DECK MURALS IN DADELAND MIAMI
This hotel pool deck mural at Aloft hotel creates the perfect mood for guests visiting Miami. We absolutely loved the direction of this mural in its contemporary and modern tropical setting.
A futuristic feeling of day meeting night, this artwork mixes abstraction with city views. Combining technology with geometry, we wanted this piece to feel soft and beautiful but also modern and fun. The surreal and high energy lifestyle of Miami is captured as the focal point of this exciting piece. We also love the way the pool water reflects the art mural.
In addition, art near water pools can elevate the overall atmosphere and create a captivating focal point. Whether it’s a large-scale mural, a sculpture, or an intricately designed mosaic, art draws the attention of pool-goers and provides a sense of intrigue and wonder. It serves as a conversation starter, sparking discussions and connections among people as they admire and appreciate the artistic elements within the pool environment.
Inspired by the galaxy and starlight
Furthermore, art near water pools can enhance the surrounding landscape and create a cohesive design narrative. By carefully selecting art pieces that complement the pool’s aesthetics and the natural surroundings, a harmonious visual composition is achieved. Art can echo the fluidity and tranquility of water, reflecting its colors, textures, and movement, thus establishing a seamless connection between the pool and its artistic surroundings. Take a visit to Aloft Miami Dadeland, it is ideally located in the heart of South Miami.

We just completed our latest Miami mural for a tech training company Brain Station. Brian Station is the global leader in digital skills training. Their new location is in the center of the creative Wynwood Arts District. As a new tech hub, we embraced futuristic theme for our mural.
Our mural features neon text that reads “Be Future Proof” and a cool alligator wearing sunglasses peering into the future. We painted geometric lines over the art to create a symbiotic relationship to computers. In addition, we embraced some of the local native Florida species and some palm tree fauna. Also, we layered the mural in soft gradients that reflect the Miami sunset colors. Lastly, we felt that it was important to add the companies brand color scheme to highlight its brand awareness to guests.
It was so much fun completing this mural for Brian Station at their new location. We also interacted with so many people on the streets of Miami making the experience very joyful. We always have a great time creating art for clients. Let us know if you need any murals or artwork for your next project. You can contact us here.
