In the streets of San Nicolas, Aruba’s Sunrise City, a wall for @arubaartfair 2025 has become a canvas of memory and future. On the side of the island’s oldest flower shop, once lovingly ran for 35 years by a remarkable woman,  Bertha Janga, blooms a tribute to heritage, resilience and community.

A proud elderly woman crowned with flowers embodies wisdom and tradition. Next to her, educator, professional dancer and choreographer Kevin ( @KG_Cooled ) with a beard of blossoms, radiates the energy of youth and creativity.

The blue abstract shapes - my signature - carry flowers like coral beneath the waves, uniting land and sea, roots and rhythm, past and future.

Painting this mural was no easy feat: six days in 95°F heat, with relentless strong side winds, yet every stroke carried the island’s heartbeat.

This is not just paint on a wall - it is a story in bloom.

🙏 With big gratitude to Tito & his team for the good care, preps and making this possible, and to my wife Nancy, for support and strength every step of the way.
