Visual Art – Miami
Artist x Designer x DJ x Art Director x Visual Communicator x Doppelgänger x Cuba’mericano
I produce art by remixing pop culture, toon-glam, symbolism, parody spin-offs, the demised, graphic imagery, consumption and color exploration theories. This art-form is forever evolving, poking-at and reinventing itself through different energy outlets and mediums. I am heavily influenced by past and present, old school and new, mainstream and underground aesthetics.
MANIFEST - ALTER EGOS
Buga is my alias for producing Art
Bugaloo is my DJ stage name
ORIGINS: Buga x Bugaloo
In tungus mythology, Buga is the supreme god and represents the entire universe.
Originated from my surname, the phrase Bugaloo (boo·ga·loo) is associated with a dance movement which is derived from Rock n’roll, Soul, Latin · Salsa, Break-dancing pop cultures. Shouted and quoted in many song lyrics: the Sugar Hill Gang\'s 1st hip hop single Rappers Delight, the Electric Boogaloo and Salsa’s el Boogaloo -to name a few. Boogaloo entered the mainstream through the American Bandstand television program.
ACRONYMS - WHAT’S IN A NAME?
\"Before Under Ground After\"
A time line based on when, where, and how things come about. Before anything is pop, commercial or mainstream -it was developed and inspired from an under ground movement.
\"Beautiful Under Ground Art\"
Homage to the underground art.
