My Journey

I'm a multidisciplinary Dominican artist with over fifteen years of experience in public art and muralism. My work has been developed in the Dominican Republic, the United States, Colombia, and Italy, addressing themes of Caribbean identity, social justice, and environmental awareness. Alongside my studio practice—which explores colonial legacies, the denial of Blackness, and the ancestral bond between humans and nature—I understand public space as a site for dialogue, reflection, and transformation.

Work

Murals & Paintings

Each piece tells a story drawn from personal exploration and community inspiration.

Personal Projects

My work grows from the Caribbean soil, from memories carried in the body and echoes buried beneath the sea. I speak from a place where the past still breathes in the present — a land shaped by silence, by denial, by the colonial mind that still lingers. Through myth and ancestral memory, I search for the traces of what has been erased: our African and Indigenous lineages, our lost dialogue with the earth. My images and gestures are acts of remembrance and disruption — ways of calling back what was once sacred, of reimagining who we are in relation to the land, the ancestors, and the histories that shape our shadows.
