QUEENS, N.Y. - TelAve -- For artist Natasha Muriel, New York City is not merely a place where art is displayed — it is a city defined by movement.

From January 15 through January 30, Muriel's work will appear across more than 4,000 digital screens throughout all five boroughs of New York City as part of a citywide public art campaign presented by ArtOnLink. Chosen from thousands of submissions, Muriel is one of only two artists selected for this 15-day rotation, transforming sidewalks, intersections, and public spaces into a city-scale gallery.

The featured body of work, The Travellers, is a six-piece collection exploring movement in its many forms — physical, emotional, and spiritual. The figures within the series float, drift, leap, and pause, embodying states of passage rather than destinations. They are travelers not because they leave, but because they continue.

Originally created as intimate, hand-scaled works, the pieces have been reimagined for public display, where they now unfold within the rhythm of the city itself. Encountered unexpectedly by commuters, pedestrians, and visitors, the work invites reflection within the everyday flow of urban life.

"The Travellers is about movement without certainty," Muriel says. "About memory, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going even when the path isn't clear."

Born in Colombia, shaped by formative years in Argentina, and now based in Queens, Muriel brings a layered, global sensibility to her work. Her practice draws from expressionism, surrealism, abstraction, and Art Nouveau, often centering the human body, natural elements, and symbolic geometry. Color and composition function as narrative tools, with each figure carrying its own internal story.

Muriel's artistic practice began during a period of deep personal uncertainty, when painting became a way to process emotion and reconnect with herself. Working intuitively and without formal constraints, she developed a visual language rooted in feeling rather than instruction — a language that continues to evolve as her perspective deepens.

The Travellers resists fixed interpretation. The figures are not defined by where they come from or where they are going, but by the act of movement itself. In this way, the work speaks to a shared human experience — migration, reinvention, longing, hope, and persistence.

Presented through ArtOnLink's expansive public network, Muriel's work exists outside traditional gallery walls, allowing contemporary art to be encountered collectively and unexpectedly. The city becomes both setting and participant — a living environment that mirrors the themes of passage and endurance within the work.

Muriel is currently completing her second semester in the Fine Arts program at LaGuardia Community College and plans to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, illustration, tattooing, and writing, with many works accompanied by poetic text that deepens emotional connection.

The Travellers will be visible across New York City from January 15 through January 30, 2026.
