Coqui
8"x8" - An acrylic painting depicting the Coqui (Puerto Rican Treefrog) in a style evoking it's place in the religious and mythic imagination of my Taino ancestors, as the animal totem of Atabex, mother Goddess of fertility and the waters of life!

- About Me And My Work
- I am a mostly self-taught artist / illustrator born and raised in New York's East Harlem / El Barrio. I love to explore just about every genre, medium, and style there is, but my main inspiration comes from creating images drawn from Latin American history & culture. I also enjoy creating images from World Mythology & Classical Civilizations.
