The Golden Lining

Juan Travieso and Katerina Santos, the artistic duo Tratos, created a site-specific mural for the Frost Art Museum addressing Florida’s environmental crisis. Their mural combines hyperrealism, such as a majestic panther, with abstract elements to depict the delicate balance between nature and human impact. The work highlights the plight of endangered species, including the panther and blue butterflies, while also offering a glimmer of hope symbolized by a gold frame. This mural serves as a powerful reminder of Florida’s unique ecosystem and the urgent need for conservation.
