Born and raised in NYC, I was inspired by the rhythm and heart of the city. Its people create such wonderful colors and stories. Igniting my passion to showcase that in my work. As a result, I developed an interest in other cultures and heritages and how one connected with them. Traveling and meeting people from all walks of life and sharing their stories through my portraits. Being both Puerto Rican and Haitian, throughout my life people always tried to place me in a box of one or the other. With my portraits, I portray unique individuals who embrace their cultures and their identities. Using a range of mediums including charcoal, graphite, oil, and acrylic paint. I place my portraits against graphic vibrant patterns inspired by murals I grew up around in Spanish Harlem. With my practice, I enjoy getting to know the subject behind the portrait. Using their energy and their experiences to come up with a background that relates to them. But, embodying their emotion in their portrait to connect with the viewers. Through my art, I celebrate the beauty of dual identity and how it can be an asset instead of a burden. My goal is to inspire others to embrace their full identity and be proud of who they are.
