Erni Vales
Erni Vales is best known for developing the 3D graffiti style that has influenced artists worldwide. Starting on NYC subway cars, he became a creative powerhouse with a portfolio spanning murals, film, fashion, and design.
In the 90s, Vales painted murals in over 300 popular nightclubs, defining the era's nightlife. His work took him to Hollywood, where he created murals for TV and film and collaborated with photographer David LaChapelle on sets for celebrities like Madonna and Elton John. His impressive list of corporate clients includes Pepsi, Dos Equis, and Def Jam.
After decades of creating designs for others, Vales has returned to his passion for his own paintings. In 2010, he created 169 paintings in just 13 months for his series, An Unusual Journey. His gallery, EVLworld, is a staple in Miami’s Art District.
