NATURAL DYES
Natural dye is color made from materials found in nature such as: plants, flowers, roots, bark, insects, and minerals used to dye textiles.
DIABLILLO
Cotton, Natural Dyes, Hand Sewn 2025
Diablillo is a collection of all the dyes I created during 2025 for research purposes, music videos, artist, and films that I worked on during that year. They come from a range of sources—food, insects, plants, and flowers—most of them found in Puerto Rico. These experiments throughout the year allowed me to develop a range of colors that come together in this 24” × 24” artwork.
In the coming years, my goal is to dive deeper into the research of natural dyes across the Caribbean and Latin America, comparing the range of colors available and how they contrast with one another. Ultimately, I aim to create a world of “Diablos” where all these colors can coexist in harmony.
