If this were play’d upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

There is great value as an artist to be relentlessly curious about other techniques & mediums.
In that spirit, I took my homegirl Alma to a #graffiti art class today with @grafftours (IG) & got to take home my canvas. So here is my first ever graffiti piece,
"LA Sunset"

"Daddy's Train" - 2/5/2025
Acrylic on canvas

One of my partner's special interests is trains so for his birthday I decided to paint him one

I had never painted a train so I found a tutorial on YouTube that gave me some direction

He loves it!

Our people and our peers are both misled,
Our treasure seiz’d

I love how The Bard stays relevant 😎
That's why he'll always be the 🐐 to me ❤️‍🔥

#Fireaid proves to the world who California is and who Californians are.

We are strong.

We are fighters.

We are the coolest fuckers on the planet.❤️

"Abstract Flowers" - 02/23/2021

My first painting returning to the art form after decades was actually a finger painting! I had a bunch of paint, but no brushes, so fingers, q tips and a tooth brush was how I made this happen!

Yes...yes it is...

*deep sigh*

Bruh 😑

Never forget Puerto Ricans were made U.S. citizens just in time to fight in WWI & have fought & died in every U.S. conflict since then -despite not being able to vote for president

If they are going to treat us like "illegal aliens" we might as well be independent
#VivaPRLibre #PuertoRico #history

Gracias hermana 🥰

The flag itself (which was illegal to fly due to the gag law) represents:

Red stripes = blood spilled fighting for #independence
White stripes = peace & victory
Blue triangle = the blue waters of the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean Sea & the sky
Star = the island itself

(Thread 3/3)

The symbols painted on the map of #Borikén are #Taíno glyphs representing the Sun, a turtle, Atabey (the ancestral spirit of Mother Earth, the Coquí (our national frog) and the Cemí (ancestral spirits)

"Herencia" - 3/12/2021
Acrylic, Mixed media on canvas

I found a map of #PuertoRico and instantly knew I wanted to incorporate it into a painting.

"Journey to Love" - 8/1/2024
Acrylic & Watercolor on canvas

This was the first non-heart piece I painted after The Heart Series. It was exciting to realize I was finally in a happier place & the exploration to find new love was possible.

I remember reading this book in 2nd grade and wondering to myself if I ever would see such horrors in my lifetime. I guess I have my answer...

another week, another poster 🌹🐲🔥

"Anchored in Love" - 5/21/2022
Mixed media on canvas.

For anchor, I used aluminum foil, the chain I made using a hot glue gun. There are real shells & a real crab claw glued onto the canvas, & the green gravel is crushed eggshells.

How do you compare the incomparable?

#poetry #poet #romance #sentimentalsurrealism

I'm here from the meta boycott and I've never understood algorithms -I blame the 'tism.

Just here to share my #art 🧑🏻‍🎨

I can think of no better way to cope with the horrors than making #art 🎨

Anyone else retreating into their #art to escape the current dystopian nightmare of our reality?

The "chaos" & the heart before adding the ribs and lyrics.

Yeah, it's my ex's band, but it's still a beautiful song, & if you listen to it while looking at this piece, it all makes sense.

"Let Go"
9/14/2023
Acrylic on canvas

I really wanted greater symmetry in the rib cage for this piece to contrast the bi-colors cosmos in the background.

Featuring lyrics from the song "Let Go" by Reaper & the Sowers.

This series is deeply personal & a prime example of how art can be therapy & healing by transmuting our sorrow into something beautiful that connects us all to the most vulnerable parts of our humanity
