Miami-based mixed-media artist Alex Yanes has a long list of high-profile clients, and the reason is clear. With elements of street art, animation, and pop art, the artist’s work is bold and refreshing and impactful. Yanes began winning art contests at the age of six, and he’s gone on to win many more as a professional artist. Though he began his professional career inspired by skate, tattoo, hip-hop, and rock scenes, his current inspiration is a bit more conventional. Happily, his art isn’t.

“These days, my artistic inspiration comes from my environment, fatherhood, life’s twists and turns, subcultures, and the thrill of creating something out of nothing.” – Alex Yanes

Yanes’s tropical color palette is a tribute to his family’s Cuban roots, to his street art roots, and to the colorful city in which he lives and works.
