Venezuelan artist Rafael Montilla to present new series “United We Are Art” during Miami Art Week
Venezuelan artist Rafael Montilla will present his new series “United We Are Art” (The union of people creates something beautiful and meaningful, such as a work of art, a poem, a song, or any other expression of creativity.) during the Miami Art Week, which will take place from December 2 to 5. The series will consist of 9 works of vibrant and warm colors, representing the union between humans and nature.
“The Street Is My Gallery” is the name of the three individual exhibitions of Montilla during the Miami Art Week. The first exhibition will open on Saturday, December 2 at 9 a.m. at the Legion Park (6447 NE 7th Ave, Miami, Florida, 33138). The second exhibition will take place on Sunday, December 3 at the Coral Gables Woman’s Club (1001 E Ponce De Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, Florida, 33134). The third and final exhibition will take place on Tuesday, December 5 at 9 a.m. in the Midtown Miami park, near Starbucks (3403 NE 1st Ave, Miami, Florida, 33137).
“United We Are Art” is a series that seeks to highlight the importance of the connection between humans and nature. “A city without art in the street is a city without soul,” said Montilla. “We must let young people express themselves, whether with graffiti, street art, or urban art. Urban art is an important form of communication and expression, and it can help create more vibrant and creative communities.”
Montilla is a visual artist based in Miami. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. He is known for his colorful artwork and the performance “Kube Man”, which explore themes of the evolution of consciousness and nature. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including Tomás Regalado, mayor of the city of Miami, proclaimed August 19, 2016 as Rafael Montilla Visual Artist Day and placed public art in the city of Miramar, FL in January 2024.
