"I feel most honest and at ease with myself and the world when I paint. It heightens my sensitivity towards the overall experience of being present and alive. Painting offers both a prayerful meditation and endless discovery of my inner world which expresses itself through the interlocking forms and color shifts that create dimension and a sense of fullness. The narratives tend to be arbitrary at first, but they reveal themselves as form emerges and coalesce into a world of characters in an environment. These pictorial images are often charged with symbols borrowed from my own cultures and memories; they function as keys to unlock the meaning of the images."

"My creative process arises from the need to explore the depth of human experience. In each work, I aim to capture those universal moments of connection, vulnerability, and transformation that we all share, regardless of our backgrounds or contexts. I'm inspired by observing situations that resonate deeply with me and others, as if they reflect a common language. The color palette, textures, and forms I use strive to bring to life those emotional nuances that words sometimes cannot express."

"My perception and experience of this world traverse all levels and dimensions. I am attuned to the smallest beings and structures as well as the vast processes and networks around me. Nature is my passion, and I feel a profound connection to the unity between all things. This wealth of emotions and impressions finds its way out of me in the form of painting. Through this creative release, I achieve inner balance.
I let forms and colors flow freely, without judgment, allowing them to emerge naturally. When I paint, I lose all sense of time—hours pass in a flash, offering balm to my soul. This process enables me to align my innermost self, channeling gratitude, love, stress, and even the analytical thoughts of daily life into an expressive release."

The Caribbean islands carry the landscape as their banner. Nature is their ally, through which the basics can be recovered, as it is witness, victim and teacher. It is said that no history has managed to capture the fact that the beauty of the islands could help slaves survive and that is because the Caribbean has its charming and alienating beauty like the love of an unrequited love. A landscape that, from a distance, is more than a pleasant paradise, it is evidence of cultural exchanges and social transformations that appeal to and condition us. As a Caribbean, I grew up looking at a landscape in the center of an island. In front of me was the sky and behind me the mountain, in front of me was the light and behind me was the shadow. This contrast of alienating beauty enunciates the traces of a social history full of contradictions.
As I grew up, I became a migrant and the different landscapes I experienced gave me form, a way of understanding the world and my own identity. The landscape shows who we are, what we desire, as well as what we avoid. Whether it is through nostalgia, hope or enjoyment, the natural environment gives us back what we are, reminding us that we belong to a shared cycle of life. Through my work I am interested in investigating the interdependence between human beings and nature, which is evident in the Caribbean throughout its history. The subjective and the objective in the dialogue of the various places lived, desired, denied and forgotten throughout the journey of life. An urgent need to return to nature, as a meeting place and a constitutive space of our identity, the so-called “eco-identity.” My task then, is an attempt to recover the imaginary of one’s own paradise through the conviction of what is possible about what remains of the world."

"I am a figurative artist, who paints the people around me or ones who live in the memories shared by those people. Whether those portraits are embroidered, screen-printed or painted they look to capture the story an expression or stance can tell. My work highlights folks, most of whom make their home in DC and some who have found home in Madrid, Mexico City or La Habana. They are folks who I have had a chance to share space with, folks who have shared stories, meals, a bottle of wine or rum with me. They are folks who make music, make art, write poetry. Folks who serve drinks, study law or literature. Folks who grew up in the neighborhoods we now find trendy, when black and brown and poor was the reality. Folks who immigrated from home, to countries that did not always welcome them but in which they made a home anyway. Not all people are folk, folk are the people who listen, who share, who find a place for you. My portraits are of folk. And because part of my artistic practice is participating in conversations. I find myself in conversations with artists who become co-collaborators in the making of art. The products of these conversations are varied, and can take the shape of poems recorded with music, short documentaries that tell the story through my poetry, the subjects music and the cinematographers eye and art that is started by one artist and completed by another."
