I am an American artist. I was born in Yauco, Puerto Rico in 1949. I attended Cooper School of Art and The Cleveland Institute of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. I have exhibited my art for over forty years in many locations throughout the United States and abroad.
My paintings, which reflect my artistic journey, were initially inspired by a series of objects from my father’s small grocery store. I create oil paintings on a canvas shaped like objects. I eliminate the background to produce a style of my own. My paintings incorporate Photorealism fused with the Pop Art style, generating a dynamic two-dimensional surface and turning it into a three-dimensional illusion.
Like Rosenquist, I have painted mural-size billboards for an outdoor media company for many years. Constantly painting on such a large scale has influenced the size of my artwork, which is an essential factor in its impact on the viewer. Over the years, I have tried a variety of ideas to capture the object and give the audience a unique, immersive experience. I found that everyday items required a closer look, and I have been painting my shaped Photorealistic oil paintings professionally ever since.
