Step into the vibrant world of West Palm Beach, Florida, through the eyes of renowned artist Add Fuel as he presents his mural “On the Rise”. This project beautifully encapsulates the essence of the city’s rich history and dynamic culture.
Located in the heart of West Palm Beach, ‘ON THE RISE’ intricately weaves the narrative of the city’s meteoric rise and its economic and cultural evolution. This is a mural of multiple layered stories, from the historic nod to Henry Flagler’s pioneering railroad track and its inherent meaning to connectivity, to the depiction of undulating waves and winds that have shaped the city’s coastal identity, and a nod to WPB as the Winter migration destination for out-of-state residents. Among the lush scenery, the prominence of coconut palms stands as a testament to growth, resilience, and the ever-present spirit of a city on the cusp of greatness. ADDFUEL
