Origination of the Idea
Knight foundation in coordination with Miami biennale’s Wynwood Ways came up with the idea of making streets more attractive. The Wynwood art district association in collaboration with Cruz Diez’s foundation supplemented the idea with the artistic sense. Hence Carlos played a key role in the project and made streets in Wynwood beautiful with colors and their abstractions.
The basic idea behind this whole project was not only to beautify city but to also make the city more cultured and civilized. The cross walk art would work as a source to give the entire city a new look which gives a fresh and more cultured feeling to the civilians.
