Phipps Neighborhoods 2024 Last year, we started covering the walls of the Phipps Neighborhoods Opportunity Center at West Farms, and this year, we finished them! Thanks to Wells Fargo, we were able to finish bringing color and life to the neighborhood!
Welcome to Amsterdam Houses Mural created for the NYCHA development with the Tenant Association and the Public Housing Community Fund, with a grant from Lincoln Center. These murals were painted to beautify the area facing Amsterdam Avenue. Some neighbors participated in the process, and the area is much brighter now!
Garden Towers Mural created for Foxy Wall Project for Garden Towers, a new two-building complex for seniors in the South Bronx.
Norwood 2.0 Through fundraising with IOBY and The Bronx Council on the Arts Community Arts grant, I invited the community to repaint this wall. In late May, I hosted two community outreach events to get their ideas and create a new design, and in the first week of June, we painted with over 50 volunteers.
PS 85 - My Library Those six murals were created from the 4th-grade book "My Librarian is a Camel" for the staircase of PS 85 in the Bronx, New York.

Pachamama Uptown Grand Central 125th St. Between Lexington and 3rd Ave. Manhattan, NYC
Ecology and respect for nature are prevalent themes in my work. I create a series of Pachamama paintings and murals to initiate conversations about how we can create a better planet and improve everyone's lives. I aim to explore ways in which we can enhance what we have and make the world a better place.

Somos la Leche! (2023) Valencia, el Cabanyal. Spain. Mural done in collaboration with BarbituriKills, Valencian Street artist. I just want to promote and destigmatize the act of breastfeeding. If you are able, this is the best milk you can give to your child. Breastfeeding is a necessary act and no one has to ask you to cover your breast or to go somewhere else. They can leave if it is uncomfortable for them... they have to deal with their issues, but not by restricting your rights!
BX People (2022) Target - 215 East Fordham Road (Bronx, NY) Months ago I was approached by Target to submit a couple of ideas for a mural in a new store they were planning to open in my old neighborhood of Fordham. Just a block away from my last apartment before moving to the Yankee Stadium area. They liked my ideas and I was chosen to create a painting for the store that was made into a mural. It was a great experience, and not only I was able to create a piece that in my opinion represents The Bronx, but I was also invited to participate in the campaign they launched for the inauguration, with my artwork and in a cool video. Overall it was an amazing experience and I am very proud of it! You can visit the store and the mural at 215 East Fordham Road (BX), and don't forget to take pictures and tag me!!
Growing Knowledge (2022) Bronx Bound Books Bookstore on Wheels, owned by Latanya Devaughn. It is a mobile bookstore that travels throughout the borough. Especially to neighborhoods where it is needed the most. The idea of Bronx Bound Books is to be a beautiful bus, traveling throughout The Bronx.“Every neighborhood in The Bronx deserves a bookstore, even if it’s just for one day” --Latanya DeVaughn
Be A Rainbow (2021) Uptown Grand Central 125th Street Between Park Ave. and Madison ave. Harlem, New York. This mural was created after the COVID pandemic, while restrictions are still lifted and we are all trying to return to some type or normalcy. It was also done in June 1st, starting Pride Month. Let's all be a rainbow instead of a cloud!
Amuleto (2019) Uptown Grand Central 125th Street & Park Ave. Harlem, New York. This mural was done trying to bring up a conversation about who is looking at us and how sometimes being out of sight is safer. When some communities start to be in the point of view most of the times is a bad sign, the people watching will try to change you, so you look more appealing for the ones to come. Resilience is the way to go, resistance, community United... I'm leaving here my "Amuleto" I hope luck is our side.
