About The Artwork

This painting draws its inspiration from a Puerto Rican photographer who captured a series of underwater images featuring artists, writers, and poets. These individuals submerged themselves in various forms underwater. The creation of this artwork was deeply influenced by the context of Puerto Rico at the time. The island had just experienced the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria and was grappling with a severe economic crisis, which left around 60% of the island in ruins. As someone born and raised on the island, these events had a profound impact on me, and this painting serves as an embodiment of the emotions and experiences of my homeland. I hope that viewers of this artwork will feel a deep connection to the emotions and challenges faced by the people of Puerto Rico during that tumultuous period. I want them to reflect on the resilience and creativity of the Puerto Rican people in the face of adversity. Through this painting, I aim to evoke a sense of empathy and understanding, prompting viewers to contemplate the strength of the human spirit. The choice of acrylic as the medium allows me to convey vibrant colors and textures that symbolize the vitality and tenacity of Puerto Rico. The subject matter, featuring submerged artists, writers, and poets, represents the creative and cultural resilience of the island's inhabitants. The style I employed combines elements of realism and symbolism, emphasizing the emotional depth of the subject matter while inviting viewers to interpret the artwork in their own unique ways.

Over the past decade, I've cultivated a thriving freelance career as a portrait artist, specializing in the intricate world of realistic portraiture and figurative art. My medium of choice is oil painting, where I've continuously honed my skills, pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques to explore innovative variations, particularly within the domain of indirect painting. But my versatility doesn't end there; it extends to various mediums, such as acrylic paints, watercolors, graphite, and charcoal. These tools have not only expanded my creative horizons but also enriched my ability to convey the essence of my subjects through diverse artistic expressions. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated an unwavering dedication to precision and a profound passion for the art form. This commitment has been the driving force behind my artistic journey. I'm eager to explore how my extensive experience and adaptable artistic skills can contribute to your creative projects. Additionally, my journey as a book illustrator has been marked by a passion for seamlessly blending realism with traditional and digital techniques. My proficiency spans various mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolors, and graphite, enabling me to breathe life into a wide array of artistic visions. One significant milestone in my career was illustrating the 64-page scientific book, "Look Up and See What the Weather Will Be," authored by Arthur Guy Brown and published by Science Naturally. This endeavor was a formidable challenge that I wholeheartedly embraced. In this role, I crafted 54 final illustrations, each accompanied by two distinct variations and subject to various modifications. These illustrations encompassed subjects related to mammals and weather, ranging from sweeping double-page spreads to intricate single-page artwork that conveyed depth and detail. Despite the intensity of the project, my unwavering dedication and artistic precision shone through, resulting in illustrations that not only met but exceeded the high standards set for the project. Remarkably, our collective effort paid off, and the book was completed within a tight timeframe of just five months. I take immense pride in the fact that this book, a testament to our collaborative effort, is now available for purchase on Amazon. It stands as a showcase of our commitment to excellence in illustration.
