The City of Pompano Beach commissioned an artist Carlos Inocente Gonzalez for the design and installation of a mural located on the south exterior wall of a building located at 135 NE 1st Ave. in Artists Alley.

There are surreal mechanical elements, historic landmarks with abstract beach landscapes morphed together to deliver an aesthetic comment on the City's transformation over the years suggesting a link from the past to the future. The mural measures 92 ft. x 14 ft.
Carlos Inocente González is a multidisciplinary artist based in the town of LaBelle, Florida originally from Maracay, Venezuela. Mr. Gonzalez moved to the city of Pompano Beach in 1997 where he started his career as an artist. His work is in private and public collections, of note several murals and art projects commissioned by the City of Pompano Beach, Florida.
"There are many layers in between what is perceived as reality and fantasy. Exploring these paradoxes, I have found a message of unity within differences. Erasing divisions, my work becomes the materialization of my message. I approach topics like society, environment and community as a provocative invitation for everyone to join the conversation. I am a multidisciplinary artist. I create paintings, sculptures, large scale murals and installations combining different media, found objects, recycled material and techniques. The result is a projection of my voice as an artist." –Carlos Inocente Gonzalez
