Marisabel BazanMARISABEL BAZAN LA QUINTA PROPOSAL ARTIST STATEMENT / LETTER OF INTEREST The opportunity to create a mural for La Quinta’s SilverRock Park deeply resonates with me because of the park’s potential to become a sanctuary for art and reflection. As an artist whose work explores themes of transformation, healing, and joy through immersive public installations, I feel an immediate connection to this project’s intention. The natural beauty of the region and its cultural vibrancy align powerfully with the spirit of my work. Over the years, I have created murals, sculptural installations, and vinyl-based public art for cities across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. My work includes La Magia de Coletta in Costa Mesa, The Dance of the Butterflies in West Hollywood, and Fusión Monarca in El Monte, among others. I’ve also wrapped utility boxes in Hermosa Beach with butterfly-inspired designs, and I offer vinyl wall decals for personal and private installations. Public art is where I feel most at home — it’s where I get to connect my vision with community space, creating moments of wonder in the everyday. My design approach for La Quinta is inspired by the idea of an unexpected Butterfly Oasis — a vibrant sanctuary of color, movement, and nature that wraps around the exterior of the SilverRock Park facility. The mural will feature layered, hand-painted watercolor butterflies rendered digitally to create a flowing, immersive atmosphere. Visitors will be greeted by the warm and welcoming phrase “WELCOME TO LA QUINTA”, organically integrated into the design and surrounded by the joyful flight of butterflies. The final mural will be prepared as a high-resolution digital artwork printed on vinyl, ensuring brilliance, longevity, and a seamless integration with the environment. Color is central to my artistic vision. I use a rich palette of layered transparencies, textured gradients, and vibrant hues that feel alive and dynamic. Each mural becomes a portal — not only beautifying a space, but activating it. I believe art has the power to shift energy, elevate everyday experience, and offer emotional grounding. This mural will do just that — it will invite residents and visitors to pause, breathe, and smile. Creating art in a community like La Quinta — with its strong artistic pulse and connection to nature — feels aligned with the purpose of my work. I would be honored to contribute to this initiative and bring my artistic voice to a space designed for all to enjoy.
