Miami, winter 2013


   Last month I visited Miami with my family and I had the opportunity to share with my friend Doug aka Hox.  I met him last time I was there in 2010 at primary flight for the art basel week and we stayed in touch afterwards. From then on, I always wanted to come back south, last time it was too rushed.
This collaborative mural is located in "Little Haiti" (north Miami). An area that is starting to change through art and artist's studios, separating itself from the well know Wynwood area. 




After this wall, I met Alex from "Spaces" and he invited me to paint the smoothest rolling gate ever, at their building located in Wynwood district. 
   
I also got the chance to photograph a mural I did in 2010 for Primary Flight, which was a very fortunate situation cause I didn't have any official picture of this piece before this trip. I'm glad the building kept mine and it's in good condition.

About Me

My photo
nelson rivas cekis
Brooklyn, NY
Cekis’s career as a visual artist began in the city streets of his native Santiago, Chile. He started painting murals while in high school, and was inspired by the New York graffiti culture and the social mural propaganda from the heavily marked political stage in Chile in 1980’s. After graduating of High School he then decided to become an active graffiti artist. Over time, his work embodied a young generation of artists. His work transcended communities, helping to create a new massive appeal for a new street culture in Chile. In 2004, Nelson moved to New York, seeking to grow more comprehensively as a creator and adult. Due to the lack of access to paint public walls in New York, his work started to move slowly into the studio and it has broadened into an experimental and investigative collection, developing his own way to paint. His unique perspective as a foreigner only adds more intrigue. Nelson has participated in numerous exhibitions and mural projects locally and across the United States as well as internationally.
