The Studio

Where Luna works.

A warehouse in Wynwood, Miami. The garage door stays open. Neon on the walls, colour tests everywhere, and sunlight doing half the work.

The Story

Get to know Luna.

What inspires her

Cuban-American Miami as it actually is: the ventanita queue, the domino park, the cruise ships, the flamingos, the abuelas. She paints what she sees and leaves out the sentiment.

How the work gets made

Stencils are hand-cut and sprayed onto plaster with crisp black edges, a little overspray and a few drips. Then exactly one element gets one hot colour. She never writes a word on it.

Hand-cut stencils and spray paint on plaster: crisp black cuts with overspray edges and drips, then one element sprayed in a single hot colour.
The Practice

What makes a Luna Vasquez a Luna Vasquez.

Stencil

Cut clean

Crisp black stencils with overspray edges, on a wall that has seen things.
Colour

One only

Exactly one element in hot pink or turquoise. That is the point.
Joke

With a point

Every piece is a dry visual joke about Miami life. Nobody explains it.

“Miami is loud. I will not apologise.”

— Luna Vasquez
