In this episode, we sit down with Miami-based visual artist and muralist Jonathan Olaya (@j.o.artwork) to explore his journey from childhood inspiration to international artistry. Born to Colombian parents and raised in Miami, Jonathan shares how his father—a fellow artist—sparked his early love for painting, and how those early days selling art with his dad laid the foundation for his creative path.
We dive into the pivotal moment when Jonathan left a stable career in sales to pursue art full time. Now with over 300 mural projects under his belt, he’s made his mark not just in Miami, but also in Tulum, Medellín, and Barcelona—using walls around the world to tell powerful stories through color and composition.
Jonathan opens up about the personal and business challenges he’s had to overcome, and what it really takes to grow as both an artist and entrepreneur in today’s world.
