I’m a Puerto Rican mosaic artist drawn to memory, emotion, and the quiet beauty in everyday moments. Tropical Gems: “Watermelon with Dad” honors a childhood memory of sharing watermelon with my dad, the man who taught me how to cook and love through food. Using paperclips, smalti, and Apoxie Sculpt, I transform simple materials into textured memories. This piece is a tribute to legacy, love, and the powerful lessons passed down in silence.
