Welcome to Art Lovers Forum. Today we spotlight the bold, electrifying work of Cuban-American artist Alex Núñez, whose newest installation at the Faena Art Project Room in Miami Beach is a must-see this summer.
Titled “There’s a Gator in the Pool,” this site-specific immersive experience isn’t just art—it’s a full-body encounter. Núñez transforms the gallery into a surreal aquatic landscape, using glitter, gold leaf, neon paint, and mutant coral forms to reflect the fragile beauty and quiet chaos of our environment.
Known for her layered, high-energy works that pull from pop culture, memory, and ecological tension, Núñez invites viewers to step into a shimmering, disorienting world where danger and delight coexist. This is art you don’t just view—you feel it under your feet, around your body, and in your gut.
Whether you’re an art collector, a curious local, or a visitor looking for something unforgettable, this is one of the most talked-about installations of the season. Stick around—we’re diving deep with Alex on the inspirations behind her work, how Miami, Cuba, and New Orleans shaped her visual language, and why she believes beauty can be both seductive and unsettling.
