Miami, FL

 

 

The second mural for The Kemper Auto Mural Project in Miami was created in partnership with Del Toro Insurance owners Angel and Elena Del Toro. They had the idea that the mural would act as a gift to the community, not only to beautify the area but for community members to see themselves in the mural. 

It was also designed to be a celebration of Miami’s rich cultural heritage and spirit. Highlighting themes of freedom, the American Dream, family and community, the mural reflects the journeys of many who traveled far and wide for new opportunities in Miami.

The mural is meant to inspire hope and belonging, reminding viewers that with hard work and support, dreams can be achieved together.

Meet The Artist

 

Michelle Guerrero, known as “Mr B Baby,” is our skilled artist who created our South Gate, California mural.  

Mr B Baby creatively blends her Hispanic roots with themes of mental well-being, infusing her murals with positivity and thought-provoking images. She often conveys these themes through the characters she creates, as seen in our video. 

“I have a couple of other characters, which are inspired by the Lelé dolls from Mexico,” said Mr B Baby. “The background of those dolls is actually they used to put them in baby cribs to ward off negative spirits.” 

By blending Mr B Baby’s artistic ideas and Kemper Auto’s goals, we hope to leave a beautiful mark not only for our agency but for the community.

Meet The Artist

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Miami, Contemporary Artist, Sergio J. Quinonez, aka Surge, has taken his bold, unmistakable style straight from his sketchbooks to the sun-stained streets of South Florida and beyond.

Surge’s love for cartoons and brilliant colors, along with influences of his latino culture and passion for pop culture, has shaped his artistic identity and resulted in work that can now been seen everywhere from walls in Miami’s legendary Wynwood Arts District to live painting performances during some of the area’s most high-profile events.

Through his art, he celebrates the joy of creativity and cultural expression. It is the ability to be daring and free with his art that is ultimately closest to Surge’s heart. To learn more about Surge go to https://www.illsurge.com
