Oracle Rooster
The Rooster Oracle (2025) is an homage to the rooster as a mythic herald straddling day and night, tradition and transformation. Against the skyline of New York City, the creature’s iridescent feathers shimmer with Caribbean heat—emerald, copper, and indigo—while its gaze fixes toward a rising moon. In Caribbean and Latin American folklore, the rooster is both guardian and messenger, crowing at thresholds between worlds. Here, it becomes an emblem of diasporic rhythm and survival: an ancestral clock reminding urban life of its rural pulse. The hybrid body—part bird, part scaled creature—symbolizes the layered identities of migration, faith, and cultural inheritance.

lor Indra (2022) Is a digital artwork in which figurative-abstract swirling patterns, bright and contrasting colors, and intricate floral designs are reminiscent of the psychedelic art movement from the 1960s and 1970s.

Chicken without a Head (Vegigante in Flatiron) (2025)
Feeling like a chicken without a head is a common experience of those who first arrive to the city. This piece presents a vivid, surreal scene where a flamboyant chicken becomes a vejigante mask—painted in fiery reds, golds, and oranges. The head floats through an abstracted urban landscape of New York City. Feeling like a chicken without a head is a common experience of those who first arrive to the city. Buildings are massive and The Flatiron Building rises ghostlike in the background, its iconic triangular form softened by expressive brushstrokes of blue, lavender, and white. The contrast between the playful, horned mask and the monumental city architecture creates a vibrant collision of cultural iconography and modern urban space.
This artwork embodies the dialogue between Puerto Rican tradition and the modern metropolis. The vejigante, a folkloric figure rooted in Afro-Caribbean, Spanish, and TaĂno heritage, bursts into the New York streets with carnival intensity. Its horns pierce through the cool geometry of the city, symbolizing the persistence of cultural identity in spaces often marked by anonymity and erasure.
The Flatiron, a landmark of New York’s architectural modernity, becomes both stage and backdrop for this transposed festival spirit. Here, the vejigante does not merely arrive—it claims space, turning steel and stone avenues into a living canvas of rhythm, resistance, and celebration. The painting suggests that diasporic identity thrives through visibility: tradition and folklore are not lost in migration, but rather reinvented and made monumental against the skyline of the diaspora city.

Caribbean Birds

Caribbean Birds (2020) Is a digital painting that depicts a vibrant, abstract scene with a focus on stylized birds amidst a colorful, dynamic background. The birds are depicted in a fluid, artistic manner with exaggerated features and vivid colors. I decided to use primary colors in the image to achieve warm oranges, reds, and yellows, contrasted by cooler greens and blues.
The style is reminiscent of a modern, abstract painting with a blend of surrealism. The use of sweeping, curvilinear lines and organic shapes gives the composition a sense of movement and liveliness. The background features a mix of soft, blended colors and sharp, defined lines, adding depth and complexity to the overall piece. The image evokes a sense of freedom and natural beauty, captured through an imaginative and artistic lens.
Dimensions: 36 in x 48 in, custom sized.
