Meet Roc Sol
VISUAL ARTIST. MURALIST. EDUCATOR.
Adrian Gonzalez, known artistically as Roc Sol, is a prominent Miami-based visual artist, professional muralist, and educator whose work centers on mixed-media abstract works, community, and culture. He is known for his large-scale murals, bold black line work, vivid color palettes, and signature stained-glass backgrounds. His vibrant work is rooted in hip hop, street art, and community-focused projects that influences his creative expression while combining powerful visual storytelling within his art.
ART STYLE
Roc Sol primarily works in acrylic and spray paint, layering bold black linework with saturated color fields to create dynamic, large-scale compositions. His style is rooted in graffiti and merges abstract, stained-glass-inspired pattern systems with illustrative portraiture, resulting in murals that feel expressive.
He enjoys experimenting with his style, applying it to different mediums such as art walls, canvas, shoes, hats, jackets, and digital works. His vibrant palette is intentionally designed to uplift and bring a sense of joy to the spaces his work lives in.
MURALS
Roc Sol produces large-scale murals, participating in mural festivals while collaborating with brands and organizations on projects that help beautify cities and neighborhoods. He is also the founder of Project Roadmap, an artist-led mural company creating high-impact public art across South Florida and major U.S. cities. Through this platform, he leads and curates a collective of professional artists who collaborate on monumental murals, immersive event activations, and community-driven art experiences.
Roc Sol views murals as cultural landmarks that should be experienced, documented, and celebrated. He has collaborated with nationally recognized brands including Verizon, Simon Malls, Jarritos, and Bored Ape Yacht Club, creating murals that elevate brand storytelling while adding lasting cultural value to the communities they serve.
PAINT BY NUMBERS
Roc Sol also creates custom paint-by-numbers canvases and murals for events, festivals, and community activations. Guests are invited to paint alongside the artist as he completes the artwork, giving participants the opportunity to contribute and leave their mark on a collaborative piece. These interactive experiences are fully customizable and designed to engage audiences of all ages while creating memorable, community-driven art moments.
EDUCATOR
He is also an educator and Artist-in-Residence with P.A.T.H. (Preserving, Archiving & Teaching Hip Hop), where he teaches youth graffiti drawing classes at the Museum of Graffiti in Wynwood. He guides students as they explore different artistic techniques and create work across a variety of mediums in a welcoming environment that encourages self-expression and creativity. He also partners with multiple nonprofit organizations that help provide cultural and artistic experiences to their communities. He also uses art and music as tools for mentorship, creative development, and therapeutic engagement for youth.
DIGITAL ART
Roc Sol’s signature stained-glass graffiti backgrounds have become widely recognized in the digital art space. Built from fractured color patterns and bold linework, these designs reflect fragments of his life, community, and artistic journey. Roc Sol began sharing these patterns with online art communities, where his style quickly gained recognition among digital art collectors and creators around the world. This evolution led to the release of Roc Sol Certified, a collection of 500 hand-crafted digital backgrounds created entirely by the artist. Each piece reflects moments of growth, resilience, and the idea that even fragmented pieces can come together to form something strong and beautiful.
