Portfolio > Los Pre Rafaelitas 2020-ongoing

For this ongoing series of paintings I have been channeling Pre Raphaelite ideals to discuss notions of portraiture, body politics, and colonial socio -cultural identity absorbed by Puerto Rican culture. The paintings in the series are based on paintings I grew up seeing in the collection of El Museo de Ponce in Puerto Rico.
