Earth Month Artist: Jose Felix Perez
‘Jose’s richly textured murals of vegetation are colorful and loaded with gorgeous organic patterns’.
Artist statement: “Beneath the Branches and Leaves”. Take a pause beneath the branches and leaves. Embrace a moment of calm, an appreciation of the landscape that surrounds us here in South Florida. Beyond the palm trees are the Seagrapes, which stabilize our sand dunes and, along with Florida mangroves, maintain the very shape of our beaches while providing a habitat and refuge for wildlife. With this work, the viewer is placed directly under a Seagrape tree, looking up & through it, closely examining, caught in the clasp, mirroring the mood that already exists at the Miramar Cultural Center Garden - a place of peace.
