vibrant and promising talents. A Miami native with Cuban and Spanish roots, the
burgeoning artist turns to the colorful energy of both his city and heritage as a great
source of inspiration. In addition to esteemed collaborations with international
artists Pez, Desire Obtain Cherish and Kenor, Mijares has headlined profile events
during Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Wynwood and ART Santa Fe, as well as

local level. Weeks later, he travelled to Haiti, teaming up with Project Medishare
to create a series of angel-themed murals promoting hope, optimism and positivity.
Additionally, Mijares serves as a founding member within the “Influencer Circle” of
