I just finished a mural for Cricket Wireless in the South Bronx. Celebrating refranes for Hispanic Heritage month, it's been a real fun project to work on!!

This year, I was really happy to take part in the 2025 Boone Ave Walls Festival. I created a Milky Way Teta on a gate, and I’m pleased with how it turned out! I love being able to paint in The Bronx about what matters to me <3 I was lucky enough to paint for the fourth time with @uptowngrandcentral at 124th and Lexington. As usual, I like my pieces to tell a story and to make people think. This one is about sharing. We are witnessing how a whole country is being erased by bombing and starving them to death. We need more compassion, more empathy, and more kindness in this world. We finalized the second part of the Harborview Terrace mural. Four new walls and retouches in the playground we painted in 2023. I added two Hop-Scotch games to add some fun to the park! I really appreciate the Public Housing Community Fund for trusting me with these projects! The Harborview community is truly amazing.  The mural has been completed, and it’s checking a new milestone in our community's vibrant art scene. You’re invited to see it in person at the intersection of Fordham Road and Creston Avenue in The Bronx. Feel free to take a selfie with the mural and tag me on social media so I can see your photos and share the love! Come by, enjoy the art, and be part of this exciting moment.

 Back in December I was in Spain and of course I wanted to work some magic there. This mural was something I really wanted to do for a while. It is located next to a protected area called La Marjal, where many species live, and it's being endangered because the authorities want to create a glamping where it shouldn't be.
A few weeks back, I was lucky enough to complete the brown brick walls at Phipps Neighborhoods Opportunity Center at West Farms. Last year, we completed two walls, and this year, we finished the work. Thanks to Wells Fargo, we were able to not only finish the walls but also distribute fresh food to the neighbors and brighten their days with color! I was invited to lead a self-portrait workshop with over 60 kids at the Amsterdam Avenue Boys and Girls Club, in The Bronx, during an event called "Celebrandome," which Dove was bringing to the Club. The self-portraits are now part of the entrance of the building as a collaborative mural. It was such a fantastic experience, and it is always a pleasure to be part of events like this that celebrate diversity and culture.  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! |
