🌿The Guardian of El Yunque 🌿

Inspired by the spirit, mystery, and enduring strength of Puerto Rico's rainforest, The Guardian of El Yunque is the latest addition to my ongoing Guardians of Borinquen series.

This collection has become a journey of honoring our island's landscapes, history, culture, and ancestral roots through portraiture and symbolism.

I have now completed 10 pieces in the series, with more works in the making. My goal is to present approximately 20 new paintings in a special solo exhibition. Date TBA.

For those who have been following my journey, I'm excited to share that all works in the Guardians of Borinquen collection will be available for acquisition during the exhibition🇵🇷
