About The Artwork
In Pieces of Me, Bruno Casiano uses painting, collage, and stenciling to explore memories and experiences drawn from his Puerto Rican heritage and upbringing in the small town of Juana Diaz. He emulates silkscreen printing with these materials, highlighting the technique’s importance in traditional Puerto Rican artistic practice. The exhibition features richly-varied collages that the artist embeds with textiles he has collected in common places—from around his home, in attics, and scouring thrift stores. By combining found fabrics with methods of making that pay tribute to his heritage, Casiano creates visual mappings that, “suggest pieces of [his] memories binding together in an intrinsically abstract fashion, as a poem that leads you down a river without letting you know what awaits ahead.” The artist’s vibrant abstractions regularly feature mountains, mangos, ceiba trees, caves, lizards, and water—pieces of his identity that recall moments from his adolescence and carry them into the present.

United States
As an artist who has lived a life in two different worlds (Puerto Rico/USA) I can attest to the reality of the duality of culture and how this complexity has made my expression of art rich and vibrant. I live in America as a Latino with a vivid sense of my identity and I celebrate it through my work which reflects my clues of my history through colors, images and expression. When addressing cultural issues using the word “duality” it brings to mind: Latino Americans, African Americans and others who hold on and cherish their traditions, culture and at times are struggling internally of which world to hold on to. The word has its own connotation of two; however in most cases realities/experiences is one that pairs up in many ways and magnifies the word “duality” to many other dimensions. There are many ways and sub-divisions in the complex understanding of these “dualities” as languages, concepts, moralities and infrastructure.
