Born in Los Angeles and raised in Miami, SURGE was surrounded by vibrant grafitti and outdoor murals that fostered his profound appreciation for urban art at a young age. His background has a big impact on his art style today, which is often described as bold and unmistakable. SURGE has combined cartoons, bright colors and hip-hop culture to create a distinctive artistic identity that brings animate and inanimate objects to life with an assertive, yet playful, personality. His work can be seen in the iconic Wynwood Arts District in Miami and with world-renowned brands like Nike, Adidas, Pepsi, Jameson Whiskey, Microsoft, Bloomingdale’s, Verizon, Bose, Budweiser, the NBA, local professional sports teams (Miami Dolphins and Miami Marlins) and many more.

AMB is just one of several ways BFA supports local artists while fostering cultural vitality, creative success and economic development. BFA continuously supports the local arts community and promotes local artists, cultural non-profits and diverse art-related projects. BFA annually hosts several events in addition to AMB, including Art in the Workplace, Art Curation, Public Art Creation, Art & Somm and Art +Stroll.
