I struggle to slap a coat of paint on to a bedroom wall but Brazilian artist Ernesto Kunde @kundeart takes rolling to a whole new level!

Kunde, the winner of the Norwegian Cruise Lines Call to Artists contest, painted this mural on the Norwegian Cruise Line terminal at PortMiami.

The initiative called on all emerging and established South Florida artists to submit original artwork to be considered for the mural. Each year, the program resets and a new mural design is selected, allowing the Company and The Nader Museum, to continue supporting South Florida artists for years to come.

The multi-story original masterpiece inspired by Miami’s coveted mangroves, is visible to all as it is showcased on the Company’s new state-of-the-art terminal at PortMiami. Kunde becomes the first winner of the Call to Artists contest, securing the $100,000, a 10-day artist residency at the Artist Loft on Oceania Cruises and the honor of having his artwork displayed at NCL’s terminal for a year.

It was a great pleasure to photograph his process!
