URBAN UNIVERSES
2021
Carlos Estévez
Urban Universes is the most exciting project of my career. The work consists of the animation of various passers-by or characters that I portray in my paintings. This work pays homage to the City of Coral Gables and its inhabitants. Coral Gables is one of the oldest and both culturally and historically rich cities in South Florida, especially the street of Miracle Mile and its surroundings. The heart of the city is a center of leisure for locals and tourists. My work will be projected on the entire City Hall facade. The images will be imaginary representations of people passing by, walking, and conversing amongst themselves, projecting their goals and dreams, just like the people that inhabit this city. These people are portraits of different individuals that come across one another fortuitously. I wanted to imagine the inner world of people, their identities and emotions, which I translate with lines and colors. Each person that walks by the city will see their reflection in some of the characters in this piece, identify with the characters will make them feel included, and also feel like a part of this city....

Urban Universes is the work that I am presenting for the Illuminate Coral Gablesexhibition. It is orchestrated by curator Lance Fung whose vision is to take the artworks of individual artists to an urban community. It is a going to be a fascinating experience that reverses the ordinary dynamic of art. Rather than going into museums, galleries or art institutions, the art will find and amuse you on the streets of your city.
I have always been dreaming to make animations of my work. However, it is not an easy task, because it requires a team effort. Now, the dream came through and the project is in progress. I am collaborating with talented people such as Mai Shirai and Johnny Sim, two incredible animators from San Francisco and Clifford Walker, a skillful sound image engineer based in Miami. I feel blessed by working with such an amazing team of passionate and creative people.
The result is going to be a mesmerized sensorial spectacle that will transform the Coral Gables City Hall and the surroundings into another dimension. It will be a door into the imaginary space of art, mind, and soul. My goal is to create a memory for the community of Coral Gables and an unforgettable experience for the all the viewers in general reflecting all the emotions and tensions of the 2020 year.
