Artist BIO & Statement
I was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents. I am a Nuyorican. Spanish is my first language and art is my passion. I am a self taught artist , I prefer acrylic as my medium . However, I have dabble in oil and there is always some element of collage in my work . My paintings tell stories . Much like the artist Frida Kahlo I paint what I feel. I use art to communicate with people about things that matter to me. I use my art to confront and respond. I like for my work to engage the viewer, evoke emotions. I work hard at developing paintings that tell a story. Sometimes the stories are not happy ones . I leave a lot of room for interpretation . My art is not meant to exclude anyone. I am inspired by many things; my emotions , environment, by words , color , people ,objects and nature. Everything serves as a muse
