Listen Later

An interview with Diana (Didi) Contreras, one of the most renown mural artists in Miami. Born in Peru, growing up in Miami and graduating From Florida International University, made Didi Miami thru and thru. She is best known for her mural work in Dubai and Miami, but Didi also creates beautiful canvases. Her style is decidedly feminine – exotic fairy-like women with flowing hair and flowers and waves trailing in their perfumed wake. In a September 2021 article in Hola magazine, Contreras was named a “Top 100 Latina Powerhouse.”  The magazine referred to her as the “the queen of the urban art scene.”  In the podcast, FIU students Claudia Cuartas and Axelle Bennett with support of UCAB students from Venezuela Karina Palacios and Araitz Berecibar, discuss Didi’s inspiration, the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on her work, and her future projects.
