Artist Statement
"My paintings are images that combine many different facets of life. Mostly from memory and imagination, I work to understand my culture, history, family, and the world around me. As a half-Puerto Rican and Irish individual, I have always grown amidst the collage of these two nationalities, seeing how they immerse and repel each other. My artwork represents this style of comparison, contrasting human experiences through color variations, 2D flatness, and 3D dimensions. I often use symbolic elements like Jesus and Messydog to evoke a deeper connection with the viewer."
