Comcast Business collaborates with top
Miami artists to showcase mobile
solutions through larger-than-life art
MIAMI, June 9, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- In a move that blends creativity and
technology, Comcast Business today announced a unique new
collaboration in Miami-Dade
County. Partnering with four prominent Miami-based artists, Comcast Business has
introduced a series of nine-foot-tall smartphone statues in four
communities across the county. This initiative is designed to
spotlight the crucial role of mobile technologies in today's
business market while celebrating Miami's vibrant arts scene. Each
larger-than-life art piece is uniquely designed to reflect the
culture, energy and entrepreneurial spirit of the Magic City.
The sculptures are now on display at four high-traffic
locations:
- Miami International Mall – Artwork

Butler (IG: @upperhandart)
- The Shops at Midtown – Artwork
by Abstrk (IG: @abstrk)
- Shops at Merrick Park – Artwork
by Jose Mertz (IG:
@josemertz)
- Wynwood Marketplace – Artwork
by Atomik (IG: @atomiko)
Each sculpture serves as a bold visual tribute to how mobile
solutions help small businesses stay agile, competitive, and
connected in today's fast-paced world.
"Miami is home to some of the
most creative, skilled and talented artists in the country. We're
proud to partner with four of them to celebrate the intersection of
art and technology," said Rich Rollins, Vice President of
Business Services for Comcast's Florida Region. "We invite the
community to explore these beautiful pieces – and while you're
there, enter for a chance to win a $15,000 grand prize for your business. It's a
celebration of connectivity, creativity and community."
The smartphone sculptures will remain in place until the end of
June.
Meet the Artists:
Abstrk
Enrique Mastrapa Jr, known as
Abstrk. He's a self-taught, multidisciplinary Cuban American artist
from Miami. His work spans digital
art, murals, gallery installations, and product design. His style
blends graffiti, pop culture, and traditional fine art.
"The creatives in my city have always been
the driving force behind its unique identity and the cultural
nostalgia that sets Miami apart
from anywhere else in the country," Mastrapa Jr.
said.
Atomik
Atomik describes himself as a 100 percent Miami artist, whose work has been across six
continents. Trained in graphic design, he emerged from the city's
1980s graffiti scene and is best known for his iconic orange
character — a tribute to the demolished Miami Orange Bowl. His work
spans canvas and found objects like street signs and paper.
Brian Butler
Brian Butler is a creative mind.
He's always drawing, painting murals, or spearheading a creative
rally. His work centers around the chemistry of what makes a place
unique. Drawing strangers and the culture glue that bonds them is
his inspiration.
"Along Miami's coast, there's a vibrant
ecosystem of sea life. We all know it's there, but the great
majority of residents never interact with it," Butler said. "The
same is true for Miami artists.
Our creative fingerprints are all over the city, but largely the
artists themselves remain hidden. This work illuminates one of
those ecosystems, by capturing the diverse and eccentric species
found in our nearby waters."
Jose Mertz
Jose Mertz is a contemporary visual
artist and designer known for blending graphic design, illustration
and street art. His work explores themes of cultural identity,
personal exploration and spirituality. He often features surreal
compositions and abstract figures.
"Miami is
more than a city. It's a creative force," Mertz said. "The art, the
colors, the murals —they've shaped global trends and inspired
artists across disciplines. From visual art to music to
performance, this place has become a magnet for innovation and
expression. There's truly nowhere else like it."
