About

My name is Mike Cruz aka “zurc”. Born and raised in South Florida, I have been passionate about art and the aquarium hobby for as long as I can remember. My work is deeply inspired by the vibrant and intricate beauty of corals, particularly zoanthids—one of my favorite marine species.

Through my art and designs, I strive to capture the mesmerizing patterns, colors, and movement found in the underwater world. Whether creating digital designs or physical artwork, my goal is to share the beauty of marine life in a way that resonates with fellow enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

With a lifelong appreciation for both artistic expression and aquatic ecosystems, I continue to explore new ways to bring these passions together, offering unique and inspired creations that celebrate the wonders of the ocean.
