Miami: prepare to be wow-ed this December with a new and unique one-of-a-kind arts experience! From December 1-4, in the heart of the Wynwood Art District, you will be introduced to more than 120 of South Florida’s best as well as artists from all around the world. By encompassing almost 5,000 square feet, Multiversal will showcase their best visual and performance works under tented and open-air space in this can’t miss event.

Among our artists, you will find both established and emerging names from around the world. Their media will span fine arts, live art, sculpture, urban art, installations, photography, body painting, fashion and film festivals.

Around the artwork will swirl a vortex of belly dancers, BBOY’s, fire dancers, acrobats, exhibitionists, and extemporaneous theater — all to the rhythm of live and recorded music. Open to the public from Thursday-Sunday for an estimated 49 hours — more than any other scheduled Art Basel production — this will truly be a multiversal human experience.

The show will have a tented space and outdoor exhibit, conveniently located in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Art District next to the Dorsch Gallery.

One of the best aspects of this show is that all of the money raised stays here in our community. Life Is Art, More Than Art Group and Multiversal Art Group are all dedicated to supporting the arts in south Florida. This sets it apart from many of the other shows.

ARTIST INFORMATION

Dianne Romero Buitrago
Dianne Romero Buitrago is an artist with an enriched American and Colombian culture. Born in New Jersey she moved to Florida as a very young child making it her permanent home. Her interest in art was sparked form a very young age as she saw her mother and aunt drawing and painting. As soon has her mother discover her talent she was introduce to the world of art. She obtained her Bachelors in Art education at Florida International University and then her Masters in art education. Dianne is currently working on a book while working as an artist and art educator for Miami Dade County Public Schools. Her passion and knowledge of the world of animation has inspired her to write her own graphic novel that she calls The F Book. Along side for the book she created the Peeps they are the characters that illustrates the book. In her drawing series she has a unique use of ink and a good sense of the human form that allows her bodies to lose all connections of the idea of the perfect body. Dianne’s artwork is a reflection of her experience working as a teacher but also a reflection of her self. She recognizes that every child’s culture is so unique and different and how we know very little about. Dianne experienced first hand the hardship of living in our society and the changes the body and mind makes from adolescence into adulthood.

Carlos Scott
Born in 1952 in the city of La Paz, Bolivia from Scottish and Spanish ancestry on his father’s side, and Australian and Irish ancestry on his mother’s, Carlos’ bicultural background and childhood experiences in those countries as well as here in the US have contributed to his artistic vision in subtle and varied ways. There is no specific subject or symbolic representation that he holds above all others. If his focus could be narrowed down to one thing it would be “Where art and photography converge” His work has evolved from producing strictly representational themes to include abstract, semi-abstract, and impressionist images that highlight textures, colors, and forms found in common every-day subjects. Among his current motifs you can find reflections in the Miami River, the natural decaying process of leaves and plants, as well as the natural effects of time, weather and oxidation on metals and other materials. Though they may retain strong aspects of their original forms, many of the images are striking for their divergence, or, transformation, if you will, into new forms, textures and colors that converge in a spectacular movement across the spectrum. Despite the diversity and unique interpretation of the subject matter, there is a consistent expression of style in this body of work that is evident in classic manifestations of form, color and textures.

Mulet
I was born in Holguin, Cuba. Studied Art at “El Alba” Art School in the same City. I worked as a graphic designer for the Government in the propaganda department. I participated in different Art Shows in Cuba. In the USA I got B.A. degree in Psychology from Florida International University. I have participated in Art exhibitions in Key West, Homestead, Miami, Fort Meyers, Georgia and New York. I owned and showed permanently for two years at MuletArt Gallery (across from MOCA), and also with other Artists. Some of my works are in private collections. I showed at “Der Kunstraum” Gallery in Vienna (Austria), France and the Show ‘Art in Prison” in Berlin.

 

Cassie Kazilla Williams
Kazilla aka Cassie Williams is a young artist whose style bounds between the street arts and fine arts. Originally from Santa Fe, NM she currently exhibits the breadth of her work in Miami, FL. After moving to the east coast her work has transcended the street arts and combined her two styles of fine art and graffiti to create an edgy, colorful clash of two very different worlds. The feminine figures, surreal landscapes and vibrant colors create a daunting visual feast for all audiences. She also works as a live artist, designer, muralist, photographer, producer, lyricist, singer and musician.
