I am Marcus Blake, a Jamaican-born, Miami-based multimedia artist. My artistic endeavors span poetry, street art, fashion, performance, event coordination, and visual art. My journey into creativity began in my early teens, driven by a profound need to express and interpret my life experiences. This passion has remained with me, becoming the core of my existence. Creating is my life.
My poetry delves into social injustices, personal experiences, and the common struggles of everyday life, offering a voice to the unheard and a reflection of our shared humanity. My street art is characterized by bright colors and intricately mixed vivid geometric patterns, a technique I call "Tapenology." This unique method transforms urban landscapes into vibrant, thought-provoking canvases.
I draw inspiration from the natural sequences, tropical landscapes, and the dynamic architecture of Miami. My work is prominently displayed throughout Miami's streets, adding color and meaning to the city's fabric. Additionally, my portfolio includes intricate collages and acrylic paintings on canvas, each piece a testament to my diverse creative vision and commitment to artistic expression.
My art not only beautifies the urban environment but also resonates with the community, making me a vital presence in Miami's vibrant art scene.
My art emerges from the improvisational moments of time, capturing fragments of my subconscious mind. The arrangements are spastic and random,

directed solely by my inner impulses. I never set out to be an artist, nor do I create art with the intention of relatability.

My primary motive is to delve into the realm of nonverbal communication, using shapes, colors, and symbolism to construct spaces of speculation and intrigue. Through this exploration, I aim to provoke thought and invite viewers into a deeper contemplation of the visual narratives presented.
