Formula 1 Miami Mural
About This Project
From 2022 through 2024, Mark Francis, professionally known as Bulk Styles, painted live during the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium, creating large scale murals inside the Start and Finish Lounge and private paddock areas. These high energy installations translated the speed, precision, and spectacle of Formula 1 into bold, immersive visual statements designed specifically for one of the world's most prestigious racing weekends.
The first mural series captures the explosive momentum of F1 through layered motion, saturated neon color, and aggressive perspective. Stylized race cars surge forward in vibrant pinks, oranges, and teals, blending Miami's tropical palette with the adrenaline of global motorsport. Smoke, speed trails, and architectural nods to the city skyline anchor the work in both place and performance, creating a piece that feels distinctly Miami while honoring the intensity of racing culture.
A second mural installation expanded on that energy, using sharp composition, controlled spray technique, and expressive splashes to build a dynamic, high contrast racing scene. Designed for VIP hospitality environments, the artwork functioned not only as live entertainment but as a backdrop for elite guests, brand experiences, and global media coverage during race weekend.
Beyond the spectacle, this project represents a defining chapter in Mark's career. Painting live at Formula 1 Miami with his 92 year old grandmother and mother present transformed a global sporting event into a deeply personal milestone. The murals drew attention from high profile guests including Paris Hilton and Hailee Steinfeld, reinforcing the intersection of live art, international sport, and cultural influence. The Formula 1 Miami murals stand as a powerful example of how live painting can elevate major events, merge brand atmosphere with fine art execution, and create unforgettable visual moments on a world stage.

Design Concept
Developing the Artwork
The Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix murals began with a clear objective to translate the speed, intensity, and global prestige of Formula 1 into a bold live art experience. Early planning focused on capturing the movement of the cars, the energy of the crowd, and the unmistakable vibrancy of Miami. Because the murals would be painted during race weekend inside premium hospitality spaces, the designs needed to feel high impact, immersive, and visually aligned with the atmosphere of the event.
During the design phase, composition was structured around aggressive perspective and forward motion. Low angle race car views, exaggerated tire scale, and layered speed trails were developed to create depth and kinetic energy. A saturated Miami inspired palette of neon pinks, electric teals, fiery oranges, and high contrast highlights was intentionally chosen to reflect both the city's cultural aesthetic and the adrenaline of motorsport. Each mural was mapped carefully to function as a statement piece within the Start and Finish Lounge and private paddock environments.
Execution required precision and adaptability. Painting live during a world class sporting event meant working within tight timelines while maintaining professional polish. Surfaces were prepped in advance, scaling techniques ensured accurate proportions, and layered spray applications built dimension through controlled fades, sharp line work, and dynamic splatter effects. The live aspect added an additional layer of performance, as guests witnessed the artwork evolve in real time.
From initial concept development through final detailing, the Formula 1 Miami murals represent the intersection of live art, brand experience, and global sport. The completed installations not only enhanced the hospitality spaces visually but also created lasting visual moments during one of the world's most prestigious racing events, marking a defining achievement within the Bulk Styles portfolio.

The Impact of the Artwork
Murals inside hospitality environments often become a defining feature of the space. Guests naturally gravitate toward bold artwork, making it a popular backdrop for photos and social media.
For Mack House Brew Pub, the mural contributes to the overall atmosphere of the brewery while reinforcing the creative and energetic personality of the brand.
Large scale artwork helps businesses create environments that feel distinctive and memorable. The mural now serves as a visual centerpiece within the brewery space.
