Enoc Perez, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of architectural marvels, has chosen the Fontainebleau Hotel as the subject of his work, creating a visual masterpiece that evokes a sense of nostalgia, luxury, and timeless beauty.

As one gazes upon the artwork, they are immediately drawn into a dynamic dialogue between the reflection of the hotel and their own image, creating a sense of personal connection with the scene.
The Fontainebleau Hotel itself is an iconic structure, celebrated for its mid-century modern architecture and its historical significance.

The mirrored paper, reflecting both the hotel and its surroundings, creates a unique interplay of color and shadow, transforming the scene into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. The neon lights of Miami Beach, the lush palm trees, and the shimmering ocean are all beautifully reflected in the mirrored surface, breathing life into the artwork.
This artwork is not just a static image; it is a living entity, changing with the lighting conditions and the viewer’s perspective. The mirrored paper serves as a metaphor for Miami’s vibrant energy and ever-evolving identity, where the past and present coexist in a dance of reflections.

Enoc Perez – Icons of Architecture
Enoc Perez was born in San Juan in 1967 and received his first painting lessons at the age of eight. The son of an art critic, he spent his family holidays visiting museums in various countries and learning about art history. In 1986, Perez moved to New York to study painting at Pratt Institute before earning his master’s degree at Hunter College. Conflicted with the program at Hunter College, where students and faculty criticized his paintings as overly seductive and decorative, Perez held fast to his belief in the importance of aesthetics and the joy of art. Embracing art’s potential for pleasure and beauty, Perez paints sensual nudes, still lifes, tropical resorts, and modern architectural icons in a simple aesthetic with dazzling, vibrant colors.
He describes his inspiration for his paintings of architectural icons:
“In a sense, these architects really believed in the idea of utopia. There’s a real feeling of believing in these buildings, and when you look at contemporary architecture, that’s not so much the case. The fact that they come from a different era makes them nostalgic. I love painting, and I believe in painting, and I share that with these architects who believed in utopia. Many painters paint to question the medium, which might be perfect for them, but I am one of those who really believe in painting”.
