He placed 1 st in the Gasperilla Fine Arts Festival in 2018, and his work exists in the Vizcaya Museum permanent collection.

Patrick Oleson
Interested in the adventurous and storytelling aspects of mark-making, Oleson explores his experiences through mixed media. In the development of Oleson's career, his work is branching out to engaging and collaborating directly with the South Miami community. In "Materialization", Oleson exhibits NFTs, collaborative projects that express a feeling in particular songs created by local Musicians and abstraction that connects back to their recording studio. The collaborative nature and aspect of appreciation shows up in both Oleson's paintings and digital work; intending a connection between old and new. The alchemical string between the two creates a subjective yet playful conversation for his audience to join and participate in.
Daniel Maya
Daniel Maya was born and raised in Medellin, Colombia. Maya served in the military for 4.5 years and received a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts Degree in 2021 from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Maya now works and lives in Miami and has turned his interest and fascination for objects and materials as catalyst for his work. Inspired by his life, he is focused on making work that represents experiences that are often overlooked and/or misunderstood within a diasporic context. He uses the visual language from his immediate environment to pose questions about space, material worth, social expectations, and the inability to communicate through language.
