Ricardo Morales-Hernández
Ricardo Morales-Hernández is a contemporary artist from San Juan, Puerto Rico. He creates extemporaneous drawings that tell personal, political, and cosmic stories. He uses a mix of analog, digital, and even biological media and is known for paradisiacal imagery that reflects Puerto Rico’s natural ecosystem. His work often draws on musical notations and graphic systems and sometimes involves participatory projects with volunteers online or in nomad workshops. His influences range from primitive markings and medieval marginalia to neo-expressionism, concrete art, and conceptual art, while he challenges dominant ideas in contemporary art. Morales-Hernández is a full-time professor who left his studies in Media Arts, Religion, and Social Sciences. He has received multiple residencies, awards, and scholarships, including support from the Andy Warhol Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Austria’s Center for Image Science.
