Minos

Minos is an innovative contemporary artist hailing from Puerto Rico, whose work vibrantly blends the island’s sociopolitical realities with a surreal, dreamlike visual language. Born in San Juan, Minos developed a passion for visual storytelling through graffiti and muralism, ultimately expanding his practice to include painting, mixed media, and conceptual installations. Deeply influenced by Puerto Rico’s rich cultural heritage, colonial history, and dynamic street life, Minos explores themes of identity, resilience, and metamorphosis, often juxtaposing traditional Caribbean iconography with modern urban elements.

His bold use of color, intricate symbolism, and layered textures invite viewers into immersive worlds where ancestral memory and futuristic visions collide. Exhibiting widely across Puerto Rico and the United States, Minos continues to shape dialogues around migration, hybridity, and self-determination, earning recognition for his ability to transform public spaces and galleries alike into evocative realms of reflection and resistance.
