New Mural “Urban Mirage 1” Will Bring Color and Community to Art²

A vibrant new mural is transforming downtown Orlando at the future Art² park. Titled Urban Mirage 1, this large-scale artwork celebrates the City of Orlando’s 150th anniversary while capturing the creative and community-centered spirit of Art².

 

Currently in progress, the mural blends bold cubist shapes, tropical hues, and detailed imagery from Florida’s natural landscape. A key focal point is a depth-filled perspective scene inspired by a real photo of downtown Orlando’s skyline. Swans and paddle boats, familiar sights on Lake Eola Park, will be added to reflect the city's local identity and to invite viewers into the scene. The design uses 3D illusions, gradients, and shadowing to create a visual portal that draws visitors in - perfect for exploration, inspiration, and Instagram-worthy moments.

 

This mural is one of the first glimpses into what’s to come at Art², a new kind of park opening later this year. Art² will celebrate Orlando’s creative energy and support the city’s vision of becoming “An Awesome Outdoor City.”

 

Stay tuned as more details are unveiled about the mural and this exciting new chapter in downtown Orlando’s transformation.
