First generation Dominican-American artist born & raised in The Bronx. My goal is to integrate various mediums within my artwork. I am as interested in graphic design, painting and writing as I am in photography, video and sound. Growing up in The Bronx has cultivated a unique perspective within me that allows me to create across varying realms.
The Bronx influences me heavily in the way it seamlessly connects a plethora of cultures. The natural beauty of where we come from & the way we thrive in spaces that can be uncomfortable for some are testaments to how resilient we are.
Urban decay has always intrigued me & the most profound commonality within the places I hold dear to my heart is the not only the lack of resources but, the exploitation of them. Regions across the globe suffer through poverty inherently caused by racism, colorism, classism & white supremacy –my art reflects that.
My primary medium of photography is how I journal & archive my life experiences. It has taught me to seize the moment, always, even when I don't have my camera. To me, art is to live in the moment, think about it, feel it, capture it. Those seemingly mundane occurrences are what fuel my artistic expressions.
