From the streets to the shore, Parisian born, Miami-based Gustavo Oviedo is a multidisciplinary artist whose works can be found in media of all varieties. Oviedo uses materials and tools such as vinyl, spray paint, photography, and found objects to create and recreate works that are true to Miami. Despite being raised in Columbia, Venezuela, and Mexico, Oviedo’s work can be identified by its vibrant colors and nautical motifs which are clearly representative of his current home of Miami. Not only does Gustavo celebrate his home through the visual components of his work, but goes as far as to scuba dive or search on his boat for discarded objects to use in future works. By exploring the Florida waters as his studio or canvas, Oviedo, often referred to as an “accidental environmentalist”, is able to retrieve discarded “souvenirs” from the sea while documenting climate change, pollution, and mother nature. In addition to his contemporary pieces, Oviedo, a veteran of the street scene, has been also known to craft exciting street art murals. Often depicting organic, abstract forms, painted in hundreds of colors, his noteworthy murals have a distinct tropical vibe. Oviedo has described his unique technique as “Particle Style”; a term derived from inspiration Oviedo found by looking through microscopes. His observations have been broken down into “single cells” and “amoeba”, that together have graced murals all around Miami. Gustavo, who holds a Master’s degree in motion graphics continues to further his work in motion graphics through his company, 131 Projects. His meta-displays of environmental and geographical research have been widely displayed in both solo and group presentations. He has presented his work at the Art & Culture Center of Hollywood, Art Center South Florida, Bakehouse Art Complex, Primary Projects, and the Young at Art Museum, among others. In addition, two of Oviedo’s short films have been part of MOCA’s Optic Nerve Short Film Festival. Oviedo continues to document for his ever-expanding audience, his historical accounts with nature while displaying his found memorabilia and explorations through his home base of Miami.
