KINICH KAK MOO, 2026

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to create numerous large-scale murals. Some of these projects are permanent works of public art, while others were conceived as temporary interventions.

As an artist who grew up in the Caribbean, the sea is not merely a subject in my work; it is deeply rooted in my identity and has become one of the metaphors through which I explore chaos, memory, resilience, and beauty.

The mural KINICH KAK MOO (Pájaro de fuego – Firebird) in Cancún is a composition that evokes the landscape of the Mexican Caribbean. Through abstract forms, it conjures the winds, rain, storms, and surrounding nature, creating a visual rhythm in which shades of green, blue, and turquoise allude to the sky, the sea, and the jungle.

In this work, I integrated into the architecture the view concealed by the wall: the beach, the movement of the waves, and the different moments of the day, revealed through the shifting sunlight as the hours pass. At the center, a flame-like form emerges in shades of orange, evoking the idea of a firebird reborn at dawn from the ashes of the night. Throughout the day, it flies in all its splendor; at sunset, it is consumed and sinks into the horizon, embodying the cycle of life and death in an infinite loop of dissolution and regeneration.
