Add Fuel Unveils "Carnival Nautical" Mural at Asbury Park's First Avenue Pavilion

In 2026, Diogo Machado, known as Add Fuel, created the mural "Carnival Nautical" at the First Avenue Pavilion, located at 800 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey. This artwork reinterprets the decorative language of the town's coastal architecture through Machado's distinctive azulejo-inspired designs. He drew inspiration from the ornamental features of local landmarks such as the Carousel Building, Convention Hall, and the Paramount Theatre, incorporating elements like seashells and seahorses. Rather than mimicking these architectural details, he transformed them into innovative patterns, describing the piece as a dialogue between the Portuguese tile tradition and the New Jersey shore. This mural was part of PlusOne, the Wooden Walls Public Art Project's 2026 initiative, with work scheduled from September 4–16. Photos of the finished mural, attributed to Diogo Machado / ADD FUEL, were shared on his Instagram on September 21, 2026.
