Miel y Pique (2025)
8x10" | Acrylic on Stretched Canvas | $100
Part of the “Platos y Juegos” Collection (2025)
This painting was born from a memory of driving with my father to the lechonera. Outside, classic cars lined the street while a carved cement table displayed bottles of homemade honey and Puerto Rican pique. Some were poured into recycled bottles, Don Q, Black Label, Palo Viejo, filled with peppers, herbs, and spices, glowing under the open sign of the shop.
With blurred edges and soft layers of green, yellow, and purple, Miel y Pique captures the feeling of nostalgia, like a memory seen through myopia. It’s a tribute to everyday Puerto Rican traditions, the flavors, the colors, and the small moments that linger long after.

Dama De Noche, 2025
8x10" | Acrylic on Stretched Canvas
The dama de noche, a nocturnal, ephemeral, and powerful flower, transforms the quiet day into the queen of the night. It reminds us that even the fragile can hold great strength, and that the memory of our grandmothers, like roots beneath the soil, continues to bloom. This work is both art and archive, connecting Caribbean botany, family history, and heritage that thrives even in darkness.

Jugando Los Manos (2025)
8x10" | Acrylic Paint on Stretched Canvas | $100
🎶 Jugando al Dominó – Trio Servando Díaz
This scene began on my grandfather’s birthday. My daughter to my right, my husband across from me, and abuelo to my left. A blessing to share the table with three generations. He was patient, teaching my daughter the game, and we played a good match- ellos y nosotros, tally marks on paper, laughter over drinks. They won, we won.
It was calm, relaxing, and joyous… yet it stirred even older memories. As a child, I’d walk with my grandfather to the grocery store, the bank, and for his lottery tickets. At home, I’d brush his hair while he pulled numbers from hand-carved circular wooden tiles he made himself. Then he’d play solitaire... and let me “win” every time.
Dominoes have always been more than a game for us. I’ve seen friendships made and mended at the table. For me, it’s a mesa de memorias, a table of memories that spark even more.
In this painting, I wanted to capture that feeling. The warm yellows and whites, the soft blur of myopia, the way joy and nostalgia can sit side by side like players across the table.

Acrylic and Wooden Clothing Pins on Canvas

Gifted – Currently in Puerto Rico
Part of a new collection breathing its first breath.
This piece captures a quiet morning from my patio in Isabela—my home now—
where the ocean glimmers just beyond the clothesline,
and the fruit trees remind me I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
The birds sing, the breeze moves softly through the trees,
and every day begins with a buen día.
