Tabaco

Maurice Ferré Park | Miami, Florida

Inspired by a summer trip to Spain and a painting workshop in Sevilla.

The traditional Spanish ceramic painting leaving the brushstroke and the layering to become the final painted surface. Tabaco is your classic romantic Miami guy, reminiscing about his homeland and dreaming of the day he can return. Obsessed with the local Latin culture and in love with the Atlantic Ocean, he’s a regular chill waterman. He loves cigars and summertime mango season. He’s equipped with a compass and a map of the Caribbean. He holds lengthy tales of majestic storms, epic deep-sea fishing, and spear-fishing expeditions deep in his soul. But at the end of the day, he’s happy to live in Miami and carries his Cuban heritage with pride.
