Art Interventions
FORTUMA 1
I’m very happy and grateful to have been invited to take part in one of the most important sporting events in the world: the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix 2025.
My participation once again came through the curatorship of Miami-based artist Surge (@ilsurge), who has been responsible for selecting and bringing together artists for this platform over the past several years. It was truly an honor to be invited to be part of this experience.
The intention behind the piece was to portray one of the most iconic symbols of Formula 1 — the race car — while staying true to Chuave’s visual language. The artwork merges the power and precision of the vehicle with a Miami-inspired landscape, using a warm sunset color palette that reflects the city’s beach energy, cultural diversity, and vibrant atmosphere.
Speed, identity, and color converging on a global stage.

“NO CHANGES”
No Changes was my intervention for the 2023 edition of Wynwood Mural Fest, marking my second time participating in the festival.
The mural was painted in a particular area of Wynwood that, as of February 2025, has since been demolished — adding another conceptual layer of impermanence to the work.
The piece was intentionally dense, textured, and visually saturated, reflecting the overstimulation and information overload of contemporary society. Through layered characters and bold, striking colors, I explored the intensity and cultural complexity that define Miami.
Symbolic elements embedded in the mural included an alligator referencing Florida’s wild identity, a woman with surgically enhanced lips commenting on image culture, and a pig subtly nodding to Miami’s Cuban culinary influence.
A particularly meaningful moment occurred when legendary street art photographer Martha Cooper posed in front of the mural alongside me and Ninka Kramer. She photographed the piece and shared that in all her years documenting urban art, she had never seen something quite like it. That recognition remains deeply meaningful to me.
The connection for this collaboration came through Wynwood Buggies.

“CASITA 2”
Casita 2 was created for Wynwood Mural Fest 2024 inside the iconic RC Cola Plant — considered by many a temple of graffiti culture.
Being assigned a space within this historic location was an honor.
The intervention centered around a small “casita” structure surrounded by zoomed-in vibrant characters, creating an immersive and playful composition.
The mural balanced architectural symbolism with expressive character work, reinforcing ideas of home, identity, and creative shelter within a space deeply rooted in street art history.

Space Coast Mural Festival
In 2024, I was invited to participate for the second time in the Space Coast Mural Festival in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
My first participation in 2022 involved painting an 8x8 wooden panel. In 2024, I was assigned a permanent wall — a significant step forward.
The mural was a collaborative exchange between my work, The Haunted Zoo (Canada), and Oddgrass (Nashville, Tennessee). All three of us work with character-driven styles, and the final result reflected a cohesive yet distinct visual dialogue.
The piece was created 100% freestyle.
It was a pleasure to collaborate with artists of such strong talent and shared vision.
