Flower Still Life




18th Floor
36in x 24in
Oil paint
2025


Being controlled comes from being a kid. That's how we learned what was right from wrong, How we learned our manners. When your a teenager, we feel entitled to not being a kid anymore. So our parents let us free to learn from our mistakes. For me, My mom still feels she need to make decisions for me. In this painting i am walking into an elevator with no space but me. The hands are signifying my parents and family member still trying to grasp me. I am confident purple with its significance of royalty. I am ready to take on the world and get older.




Realities
60in x 24in
Oil paint
2024


This painting is a reflection of me being reflected multiple times. It's about how I act when I'm around different people. How I tend to be more friendly with people i just met. Or I am more shy when it comes to distant family members. I am wearing black in the main reflection to show dominance in the fact that no matter what version or how I am acting in any situation, it's my face, it is me. I am dominating my body. When they all add up it all equals to me. I am also barefooted for that exact reason. To show I am grounded . I am in control of what I show people.




Memories
19in x 23in
Oil paint
2024


This painting is a self portrait conveying the feeling of forgetting childhood. The older you get the little things like childhood friends and TV shows are often forgotten. Here I have forgotten my childhood Monkey. He was so dear to me, more like a Best friend than just a bear. He is jumping out at me like a jack in a box, However I'm not surprised in this painting. I had forgotten the significance he had in my childhood. The light focuses on him because he was important to me at a time in my life. And up until I lost him I couldn't be without him.




Natural Habitat
19in x 15in
Oil paint
2024


In a few of my paintings Monkey features in. In my mind his story would live forever. Here he finally makes it back to where he belongs. In the forest. Although he is a stuffed Monkey he feels real to me. Therefore he is hanging from a real tree in a real forest. The pink highlights are for the surrealist feel along with the red trees.




Open Arms
30in x 20in
Oil pastel, watercolor, and color pencil
2024


A moment when childhood and connects with now. When getting older you tend to realize how much you miss your childhood self. When I was younger I was constantly thinking about the future. This artwork is portrayed with bright colors and an imagined dream-like feel of a sunset. Two suns for two lives with bright futures. The shadow figures show how eager younger me is to see older me.




Coqui
12in x 12in
Linoleum Printmaking
2024


Puerto Rico's national animal is a Coqui frog. It's called Coqui because it's the sound it makes. "Coqui" "Coqui" "Coqui." If you was to ever roam the streets of Puerto Rico at night or happen to be in their forest. You will hear it. It's rare to actually see one, and even hold one. When you catch one or appear to be in your hand it means luck. They are small creatures in the forest blending in with its tan skin. I used Lino Print to create this piece because I needed to convey the details in the hands and how much focus should go toward actually seeing a Coqui.




4th wall is to be broken
16in x 9in
Graphite
2024


This drawing is about being trapped in my mind and a space. Sometimes life can feel repetitive. Waking up and going to school, work then home. Being drained of energy. Walking into the same Projects I call home everyday. Past the group of men that try to talk to 17 year old me. I think of ways of how I can get out of this show I call my life right now. How I can try and change something so it's not the same as yesterday. Thinking of ways I can benefit my career starting at this age. So when I think where I am 10 years from now it's not in the same Projects I dreamed of getting out of. My knuckle is only peeking out a bit only for the simple fact that I am close to being out. Out of my head, Out of the repetition of the days, Out of the Projects I was born and raised in.

Flor de Maga
30in x 23in
Oil paint
2023


This flower is called Flor de Maga. This is also the Puerto Rican national flower. What's jumping out of it isn't just a flog. This is called a Coqui; Another Puerto Rico National animal. These together are like an omega of Puerto Rico, which is what I wanted to show. This is my culture and a big part of my identity. Black in my culture is equal to dominance. In this painting it means the same thing. Of how strong I am attracted to my nationality.

Tipsy
24in x 17in
Oil Paint
2023


This is based on the feeling of alcohol. the colors and environment tend to be fused together. That's why I made the color palette somewhat cohesive. The background has a see through feel to it and the movement of the pink shade through the background to the foreground.




Coccinellidaephobia (fear of ladybugs)
19in x 15in
Acrylic Paint
2022


People usually don't take fears of bugs seriously. I used to be one of those people. Until I realized I'm afraid of ladybugs myself. It's such a little thing but a huge thing to me. I sometimes catch myself staring at them not knowing what to do or how to handle them. I usually find them when I'm at the park. In this painting I am laying down in the grass. Ladybugs tend to crawl on anything and everything. So I have a couple tangled in my curls and on my face as well. Most of the time when I see ladybugs I don't Freak out. Which is why I don't look frightened in the pose more uncomfortable
