Rayos Del Sol

The Rayos Del Sol (Rays of the Sun) Mural, sponsored by the Miami Foundation, Pinnacle Housing, and the Louis Wolfson III Foundation, is a vibrant and iconic artwork located in the heart of Little Havana, Miami. Painted in 2013 by artist Kyle Holbrook, this mural serves as a testament to the cultural richness and natural beauty of the area.

At the center of the mural stands a depiction of Mother Nature adorned with colorful flowers, evoking the lush landscapes synonymous with Cuba. Behind her, a Cuban pattern forms a backdrop, adorned with foliage and bright colors that mirror the vibrancy of the local flora. The mural captures the essence of Cuban culture and its deep connection to nature, symbolized by the rays of the sun radiating from the background.

Upon its completion, the Rios Del Sol Mural quickly became an integral part of Miami's skyline, visible from various vantage points across the city. Its prime location near the Miami Marlins Stadium ensured that it was seen by visitors and locals alike, becoming a landmark in the neighborhood.

Over the years, as Miami's skyline continued to evolve with the construction of new buildings, the visibility of the mural may have diminished from certain angles. However, its significance as a cultural icon remains undiminished. Even in 2024, eleven years after its creation, the Rayos Del Sol Mural continues to enchant and inspire, serving as a lasting tribute to the beauty and heritage of Little Havana and the enduring legacy of Kyle Holbrook's artistic contributions to Miami.
