About the Miami Mural Artist and Sculptor – Amir Shakir
Rooted in the soul of Louisiana and shaped by the vibrant energy of Miami, Amir has spent over two decades forging a distinctive creative voice that bridges fine art, design, and community engagement. With a foundation in graphic and print design, his work evolved into ambitious large-scale sculpture and mural projects that have transformed skylines, sparked conversation, and drawn international attention.
From monumental murals spanning entire city blocks to intimate works that reward close study, Amir approaches every project with both technical mastery and a fearless creative vision. His art lives in public spaces across the United States—from the cultural corridors of Florida to the far reaches of Minnesota and Washington—and extends across borders to Nelson, Canada.
A multidisciplinary creator with formal studies in music and visual arts at Texas Southern University, Amir moves fluidly between mediums: oil and acrylic painting, digital illustration, sculpture, metal fabrication, and music production. This range allows him to engage audiences on multiple sensory levels, blending color, form, texture, and rhythm into experiences that are both visually arresting and emotionally resonant.
His work has not only enriched the visual landscape but also strengthened the communities it inhabits—recognition that earned him a Certificate of Recognition from the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County. Amir’s journey began in Miami’s now-famous Wynwood Arts District, where his first public mural became the seed of a career defined by scale, impact, and uncompromising authenticity.
Today, Amir continues to create works that are as bold in vision as they are meticulous in execution, leaving a lasting imprint wherever his art takes root.
Wynwood Miami Artist
As one of the founding members of The Color Dreamers with Ivette Cabrera, Amir helped shape a collective vision that merges large-scale public art with storytelling, community building, and cultural preservation. Under his creative leadership, the team has brought bold, transformative projects to life—turning ordinary walls and structures into immersive visual experiences that resonate with audiences on a global scale.
Through The Color Dreamers, Amir has collaborated with fellow artists, city planners, and community leaders to produce works that transcend traditional muralism. The group’s projects are often infused with cultural narratives, vibrant palettes, and layered realism, making them both visually striking and deeply meaningful. Amir’s role in the collective continues to reflect his belief that art is not just to be viewed, but to be lived with, engaged with, and remembered.
