Parrot mural for Thor Equities completed in Wynwood Miami, FL

Our latest mural “Love Letter to Wynwood” was just completed in Miami. We worked in collaboration with the global real estate leader Thor Equities.
The idea for the artwork came about as we reminisced on all the amazing years we have spent in the artistic community. The mural offers words of inspiration to local artists and visitors. Integrating artwork unto buildings enhances the aesthetic environment of Miami’s thriving art neighborhood Wynwood. Here are a few photos of the mural from the street view.

Taking inspiration from the local parrot migration that happens in Miami every year, we painted a bright green parrot. In this painting of the parrot speaks the words of inspiration. Tourists love the mural. It’s been a big hit in the neighborhood!

Latest mural video for Caoba at Miami Worldcenter

We had an amazing time completing this condominium mural for Caoba which is located in the heart of downtown at Miami Worldcenter. Here are some behind the scenes of our painting process from start to completion. Caoba is a beautiful condominium with high end luxury features and amazing panoramic views of the Florida Miami bay. Close to Miami’s most popular neighborhoods such as Brickell and Wynwood, Caoba is a great location.

The client requested a modern rendition of the Miami skyline and something that tied in the Caoba tree. We worked on a series of concepts that best fit the theme before receiving final approval. In addition, we utilized a series of techniques from airbrush to stencils. We also painted a Caoba tree with leaves on the floor that led to the main entrance to the building from the parking lot.

Miami Worldcenter Murals

Miami Worldcenter is a large mixed-use development under construction led by principals Arthur Falcone and Nitin Motwani, spanning several blocks in the Park West neighborhood of Miami, Florida, just north of downtown. We are happy to have our murals be part of such a great development.

Let us know what your next project is. We are Miami muralists filled with creative artists ready to work on any project. This is one of the many Miami projects we work on for commercial buildings. Condominiums, office centers, residential development and hospitals are all great places for murals. We take on every project challenge with creative solutions.

New Welcome to Wynwood Mural Completed!

We had the absolute honor of working with an amazing brand Vivelo Bikes on our latest mural located near Wynwood Walls in Miami, Florida. The painting process took us about 3 weeks to complete. We used various art styles such of graffiti, posterization and classical chinoiserie to create the artwork. The client really wanted a vintage car with a bit of street art that represented the graffiti scene in Wynwood.

After a few concept design revisions we settled on a good color scheme that fit the brand and included some welcoming text for visitors to the area. We also added some palm trees in a chinoiserie style that really defines the Florida landscape of beautiful beaches and sun. Once we received final approval on the design we got to work. We gathered our spray cans and brushes and got ready to tackle this massive wall. During the process we met many tourists and visitors who we’re thrilled by our work and took many selfies in front of the mural as the work progressed.

We were so happy to work with a great brand that provides custom bikes as works of art for the community. We truly cherish our new friendships that has developed from painting this new mural and we hope that you visit when you visit Wynwood Walls in Miami.

Why Miami’s coolest neighborhood is Wynwood

Murals, public art and visitors

Wynwood Miami is one of the top art cities in the world due to its sheer number of public art and murals. The neighborhood spawned from local art galleries and studios to a massive outdoor gallery exhibition attracting visitors worldwide. The beauty of Wynwood lies in its rugged approach to art. Its public art and graffiti attracts a global art market to its streets everyday. Today, what started out creative grassroots efforts by artists working in derelict and raw warehouses has blown out to major companies inhabiting old art spaces.

As one of the original gallerist from the early days of Wynwood back in 2008, I have seen Wynwood progress and change overtime. The walls were revolving doors for international artists that frequented Miami during Art Basel, one of the world’s biggest art fairs in the world. Since then, Miami’s Wynwood Arts District has become a model for many major cities across the world. Cities worldwide are now hosting international mural festivals to attract the same amount of tourism. Wynwood attracts about 40,000 visitors monthly.

The role of artists

As Miami artists, we have also evolved with this artistic fluctuating city we call home. By taking part in painting these art murals we have supported the Wynwood street art renaissance. All because we believe in the powerful beauty of art and the message that it can convey to millions of people. We have continually natured our own artistic creativity. Additionally, we have nurtured the creativity of other artists by providing affordable work/live spaces in Wynwood when we established our side project Viophilia. The goal is to keep the art organism growing and multiplying. Inspiring more artists to join this artistic journey.

In hopes to bring our studio art form to the world view we formed our mural team many years ago. Throughout the years we have produced over 20 murals both nationally and internationally gaining recognition from many governmental organizations and national museums. Our artworks are now part of public and private art collections. We have worked in collaboration with major brands bringing the beauty of art to their marketing campaigns. The great thing about Wynwood is the ability to work simultaneously side by side with artists and companies.

The art remains ever-changing on these street walls. There are no banners, billboards or large flashing signs. Here it’s just the texture of brushes, rollers and spray paint on walls as new large paintings emerge from old murals.

Where Wynwood goes from here

We love this place and we will continue to add new murals to the coolest neighborhood in Miami for years to come. We welcome all to visit and enjoy these temporary street art, graffiti and murals that change each year. It never stays the same in this neighborhood and we hope to keep it that way. Vibrant, artistic, and always new.

The Miami Times interviews The Color Dreamers mural dream team.

Artists help preserve culture of the area with Little Haiti Mural Project

We were interviewed by The Miami Times regarding our mural artwork in Little Haiti Miami. Little Haiti is an area in Miami that is currently facing the edging and emerging interest by developers. Our mural was created in collaboration with a community organization seeking to highlight the areas culture of Haitan descendants. Below is a link to the full article and some excerpts from our interview. Enjoy!

https://www.miamitimesonline.com/lifestyles/the-little-haiti-mural-project/article_b89695c6-8f49-11e8-9d41-c763a616f36e.html

Some say that Little Haiti is turning into an extended version of Wynwood. With its vibrant native culture, art and murals, and ethnic restaurants, this part of Lemon City is emulating many of the positive traits that abound in Wynwood. But all the positive attention in the neighborhood is enticing some unwanted attention from outside forces.

Much like what happened in Wynwood and its graffiti scene, big-brand developers salivate at the idea of using the desired, sturdy and vacant land of Little Haiti to establish a foundation and foster their vision of growth and development for the future.

Promises of change can impact the community in a negative way, and these residents, business owners and artists know it. Little Haiti has places that exhibit great art from many recognizable names that bring in tourist dollars. But that is countered by developers, whose goal is to renovate the area without accounting for the resident’s needs and culture.

Artists and proponents of art are using their voices and skills to consolidate community interests with developer’s plans of growth. Little Haiti is a lively place imbued with culture and artistic prominence. The community boasts many art studios and galleries, as well as dance classes, public markets and nighttime events. The warehouses, businesses and restaurants serve as canvasses that different artists use to beautify the neighborhoods with different aspects of Haitian and Caribbean culture and folklore. These murals were created by artists who want to improve the community by making art that reflects the roots of the residents therein.

The Color Dreamers is another set of artists who participated in the Little Haiti Mural Project. The duo consists of Ivette Cabrera, longtime Miami resident of Nicaraguan descent, and Amir Shakir, black and born in Louisiana, who’s been living in Miami for the last eight years. Together, they embrace the culture of Little Haiti and reflect it in their art, instead of making art for art’s sake.

“The process of making a mural in Little Haiti is delicate and has to be designed carefully, explained Cabrera. “If we put anything out there that doesn’t relate to their cultural identity, then we are going to change the identity of the whole community,” she said.
“We don’t see development as a negative thing,” Shakir said, “but, the people should know that they can be part of the development and make it about themselves and about the larger picture at the same time.”

Ofir, Delionis, The Color Dreamers and Rivera understand the importance of using art as a vehicle to cement a sense of identity and pride in a neighborhood and its people.

The Color Dreamers Mural team unleash 3 new murals at Miami Midtown Five

The Color Dreamers Mural team unleash 3 new murals at Miami Midtown 5

Unveil of new condominium murals at Miami Midtown 5

Happy New Year to all! Hope you had an amazing celebration with friends and family. We closed our last year with great new projects and new friends. We tend to split our time between our studio work and murals so also had time to create some sculptural works we will be showcasing shortly.

These murals are located at Midtown Five in Midtown Miami. The theme is contemporary luxury meets Wynwood Graffiti. We used a mix of techniques including fine art paint brush, airbrush, spray paint and stencils. We always take into consideration the level of detail and colors in each artwork we create. With these particular murals we ensured that our spray paint colors weren’t too bright and blended well with the teal blue glass windows.

The three murals located on the 5th floor pool deck had a posterized street art style mixed with just a small section of graffiti to balance the composition. The mix of styles creates a fun variety for viewers with different taste. The wall next to the yoga studio had a mix of airbrush and neon texture giving it that classic Miami glow. We created a scenery of one of Miami’s oldest graffiti pennant relics, The Marina.

“The theme in these murals was to create something that still appeals to what Miami is made of: sunny weather, high end design, neon lights, arts and culture. It’s a vibrant city that continues to grow and we are more than fortunate to take part in its artistic cultural revolution.“

We are working on our video release of the full process soon so stay tuned and please feel free to reach out to us on how to make your dream mural project come true. We love the process of collaborating with designers, architects, developers, community organizations and brands. There is nothing more special to us than to create artwork that really connects and makes a lasting impact.

We give our full attention to each project and client needs. We are constantly working hard to ensure that we have a 100% satisfied client every time. Our design studio is located in Miami near Wynwood.

Color Dreamers Muralists embark on new Graffiti Mural for Midtown Miami developers

Graffiti and Modern Mural Mix at private pool deck in Midtown Miami

We have embarked on a new mural at the condominium located in Miami. The concept is a mix of wild style graffiti prominent on many of Wynwood walls and modern luxury retail of Design District. The mural is located on the private pool deck of the condos located in Midtown Miami 5.

Here’s a preview of the mural in process as we continue to add more murals throughout the condominiums 5th floor that includes a yoga studio, gym and beach style pool.

Graffiti is a great way to mix some urban elements while creating a unique piece of artwork that appeals to the younger professionals. In today’s Miami condominium market its important to stay competitive and add a unique element that not only reflects the culture and vibe of the city but also adds an artful design appeal that is refined in a luxurious way.
