Puerto Rican artist Bernardo Medina is showcasing his work in Madrid, featuring a large, colorful piece that blends tropical fruits with a personal story. From a distance, the artwork appears to be a vibrant still life in Medina's signature 'jibarito pop' style.
However, upon closer inspection, the hand-stitched buttons and geometric design created with mundillo thread reveal a more personal narrative. Medina's work is a testament to his connection to his Puerto Rican roots.
