Original artwork description:

This oil painting captures the vibrant essence of one of Miami’s iconic lifeguard towers. Bathed in bright hues of red and white, it stands against a serene backdrop of blue skies and emerald waves, embodying the perfect harmony of color, light, and nature.

For me, these towers are so much more than structures: they are guardians of the horizon, witnesses to thousands of summer stories, and an endless source of inspiration.

These lifeguard towers hold a special place in my heart. They are not just functional structures; they are symbols of Miami’s resilience and creativity. After a devastating hurricane ravaged the beaches of Miami in the 1990s, these towers were rebuilt as part of the city’s revitalization efforts. Designed with flair and personality, they now serve as vibrant landmarks, uniting practicality and artistic expression.

Through this piece, I wanted to celebrate the enduring spirit of these towers and the stories they tell. It’s more than a painting—it’s a tribute to Miami’s beauty, strength, and unyielding ability to rise after adversity.
