MY PUERTO RICO" DRAWING WITH SAZóN CON ACHIOTE AND CURRY

HECTOR ROMAN

My work is influenced by indigenous cultures from the Caribbean to all around the world. Thousands of year’s worth of knowledge disappearing before our eyes. With my recent pieces I’ve been focused on “invasion of a space”, to destroy and to erase any trace of a sacred land. Asphalt and earth is my medium to represent my paintings, asphalt representing our use of highways and fuel, dividing, contaminating and creating boundaries reducing space. Earth representing the sacredness of land, cultures and traditions.
