Miami Artist Ernesto Kunde's Nature-Inspired Public Art and Exhibitions

Ernesto Kunde, a Miami-based public artist originally from Brazil, creates work focused on South Florida's tropical environment, particularly mangrove ecosystems. His practice includes large-scale murals, paintings on various surfaces, and sculptural installations. Notable public works include murals at The Sagamore Hotel South Beach (2025) and the Norwegian Cruise Line terminal at PortMiami (2022). Kunde's art has been exhibited at institutions including the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Coral Gables Museum, and Cornell Museum, and during Art Basel Miami Beach Week at fairs such as CONTEXT Art Miami. His work explores the relationship between natural and urban environments, often using vibrant colors and diverse materials like canvas, linen, found wood, and steel.
