My contribution to the “Despierta Verano” 2025 Festival in Caguas. This year, I decided to pay a small tribute to Félix Cordero, dear neighbor and artist from Caguas, integrating it into my final proposal. During previous years, Felix passed through the work area daily; he stopped to talk, observe and share with us from his genuine curiosity and affection for art.Like him, much of our puertorrican population is entering a stage of greater vulnerability, and they deserve our attention, memory and respect. This piece contains elements deeply connected to my childhood and my roots: cordy, acerola, quenepa, jobos and currants were fruits that grew in my grandparents' yards."El Alacrán" not only honors Don Félix, but also invites us to reflect on the crosses between past and present, and the power of memory as resistance.El Alacrán2025Spray and acrylic mural13' x 14'

El Alacran

This mural pays homage to the tabaco farmers and the trova musicians of the city of Comerio, Puerto Rico. Horas Largas (Long Hours), makes reference to the blue collar workers that mostly populate the city and working until the sun sets.

El ReflejoMural 20'x25' (Approx)For @reflejoapie during the Despierta Verano 2024 event. The theme of this project focuses on helping others and dedication to the future of the community.A project that was extremely important for me to be able to effectively express the gratitude I have felt towards @urbeapie. Year after year, they have provided a platform for a number of artists on the island. Providing a space free of judgment and an opportunity for infinite collaboration.I learned a lot from this one, and I also threw the experiment with PVC letters, which were very sharp 😄

'Fight the Fight,' a mural that packs a punch with its vibrant portrayal of a feisty rooster ready to take on any challenge! Bold strokes and lively colors capture the essence of this spirited fowl, encouraging all who see it to face their battles with the same fiery determination. It's not just a mural; it's a feathered reminder to strut into adversity, spurs out, and fight the fight!" Colab with Indigo and Smell

Equilibrium

The theme of this piece is "Community Resilience""Moths" are commonly associated with change, transformation, endings, death, and even the mystery of the night. They encourage becoming more fluid to facilitate change, both in the physical and spiritual realms. They help us celebrate transitions, bringing messages, ideas, guidance, or advice. Transformation - Similar to their daytime counterpart, butterflies, Moths also start as caterpillars, retreat into a chrysalis, and emerge in a completely new form. This transformation symbolizes the potential within all of us when things are uncomfortable or challenging.

Overview

Mural created in celebration of Earth Day at Kikita Beach, in my town of Dorado. This small beach occupies a very special part for me as a person. Considered the most consistent surfing area in Dorado, it was where I faced many of my fears and challenges as a teenager. Some days it was the boxing ring where I fought with my worst fears. During my military career, there were countless days that I longed I could have the opportunity to use Kikita as therapy.&nbsp; The lighthouse represents that feeling, in a way Kikita continued to light my path even if it was like that from a distance.

"Behold 'Be Wise, Be Owl,' a mural that whimsically celebrates wisdom with a charming owl at its heart. Vibrant hues and playful details bring the wise old owl to life, urging all who gaze upon it to embrace their clever and curious sides. It's not just a mural; it's a reminder that wisdom can be both enchanting and fun!"
