Summary

Artist Biography

Born and raised in the quiet mountains of Gurabo, Puerto Rico, I was shaped by the rhythms of nature and the simplicity of jíbaro life. The forest, the fog, the wind through the trees — these elements were my earliest teachers. While the world beyond the hills moved fast, I learned to watch slowly, to feel deeply, and to listen to the quiet language of the earth.

But within that stillness, there was always turbulence — the unspoken struggles, the internal storms. Over the past four years, my work has been a deep dive into that tension: the collision between peace and chaos, nature and psyche, beauty and the grotesque.

I create surreal, often unsettling imagery: distorted figures, spiraling forms, and uncomfortable facial expressions that reject easy interpretation. My visual language leans heavily on spirals and turbulence, not just as motifs but as emotional states — twisting paths that reflect the complexity of human experience. Faces stretch in anguish, mouths gape in silence, anatomy fractures and reforms — revealing the fragile line between inner torment and outer form.

Though my surroundings have always been serene, my art is anything but. It is the mirror of what we often suppress: discomfort, ugliness, raw honesty. I don't aim to beautify; I aim to reveal. Through surreal distortion, I try to capture what it feels like to live in a world where emotion doesn’t always make sense — and where the mountains sometimes echo things we’re too afraid to say aloud.

Art Statement:

This body of work is an exploration of rage as a primal force, depicted through turbulent compositions and the distortion of the human form. Each piece spirals into itself — a visual descent into chaos — reflecting the cyclical nature of emotional upheaval. The spiral becomes a recurring motif, symbolizing both implosion and expansion, the uncontrollable inward pull of anger and the explosive release of it.

Mouths are central in this series — gaping, screaming, contorted — serving as both the origin and outlet of raw expression. These exaggerated, often grotesque mouth expressions speak when the rest of the figure is silenced.

Anatomy is disfigured intentionally: limbs bent at impossible angles, torsos twisted beyond natural limits, skin fragmented like broken mirrors. These distortions are not mistakes but metaphors — the body as a battleground where internal violence manifests externally.

Through these works, I challenge the viewer to confront the discomfort of unfiltered emotion. There is no politeness here, no aesthetic safety. Only the visual language of rupture, distortion, and unrelenting intensity — a reflection of the human psyche unmasked.
