Titled "Reflections of Paradise", this piece presents an intriguing juxtaposition of landscapes that hold personal significance for the artist. It features the majestic pre-2001 New York City skyline, with the World Trade Center towers standing as proud testament to the city's architectural prowess and vibrant spirit.

However, the artist introduces a compelling twist as he playfully subverts expectations with the reflection in the water. Rather than mirroring the metropolitan panorama, it reveals a rich tapestry of traditional Caribbean, particularly Puerto Rican, imagery. Nestled amidst lush palm trees and radiant royal poincianas, we find El Morro Castle and an archetypal 19th-century Puerto Rican wooden house.

 Reflections of Paradise" is not just a visual spectacle but a metaphorical exploration of the artist's cultural duality—his connection to the bustling, cosmopolitan life in the United States and his deep roots in the rich heritage of Puerto Rico. It’s a testament to the coexistence of different worlds within us, and a beautiful reminder that our origins continue to reflect in our present, no matter the distance or difference in locale.

This artwork is a significant conversation piece that would add depth and intrigue to any art collection, providing an excellent talking point about the multicultural influences that shape our identities and experiences.
