Valeria Nahyr Quiñones Torres, born in May 10, 1999, and raised in the western coast of Puerto Rico. She paints with oil pastels, acrylic and oil on canvas, paper and wood panels.
Her artworks focuses on symbolic landscapes, where the scene serves as a vessel for introspection. Between Abstraction and Neo-expressionism, her compositions are a collection of ideas and images exploring contemplative spaces of thought and the psyche as a creative impulse for resolution, transformation and spirituality through an intuitive approach. My visual language contains the use of symbolism, a bold chromatic, vibrant Caribbean palette and a deep interest for exploration.
During the past years, a lot of these spaces surges from dreams, and occasional themes driven from socioeconomic issues, and representative experiences of the Caribbean experience.
Nahyr has exhibited at MUSA in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico; some of her works and prints are held in the collection of Galería Barbershop in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico; she has participated in Exposición Anual 2025 in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, where she was received a special recognition for her outstanding work “Alusión a la entropía 2025)”; exhibited at Quinto Orden Fest as part of the chosen exhibitionists for the “Barrio Adentro” edition contest at MADMI in San Juan Puerto Rico
