Alexander Mijares · Miami

Miami-Born.
Internationally Collected.

Miami-born and internationally acclaimed, Alexander Mijares has established himself as one of South Florida’s most vibrant artistic talents — a self-taught painter and sculptor whose work speaks in a language of color that is layered, luminous, and unapologetically loud.

His palette is drawn from the Latin culture that raised him: the saturated warmth of Havana, the ceremony of Spanish tradition, and the restless energy of Miami itself. Color, for Mijares, is never decoration — it is memory, heritage, and feeling made visible.

His signature stained-glass style was born on the road. Traveling the world, he found himself returning to the great cathedrals — standing beneath centuries-old glass as light fractured into color across stone. That sense of the sacred became the foundation of his work: bold leaded lines, jewel-toned fields, and compositions that seem to glow from within.

He creates with his hands as much as his eye. From canvas to large-scale sculpture, Mijares shapes material directly — carving, layering, and building forms that carry the same brilliance as his paintings. Each piece is an act of devotion.

That resonance reaches far beyond the gallery. Mijares has created custom original works for — and been collected by — leading names in music, film, and sport, from Pharrell, Gloria & Emilio Estefan, and Luis Fonsi to J Balvin, Maluma, Bad Bunny, Tori Kelly, Justin Bieber, LeBron James, and Ray Allen. In 2014 he collaborated with Pitbull during the World Cup, painting the iHeart Radio Station Studios.

His originals also live in luxury homes, condominiums, and commercial interiors across Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Wynwood.
