Memory is a constant in my paintings. In my work I keep visiting landscapes of home and day to day interactions of my present surroundings. Parallel, in recent years, I’ve started working self portraits with the use of selfie filters. Elongated rectangles and squares dominate my canvases evoking the cell phone screens that shape our reality.

André Marcel Pagán Rolón (b. Jan 11, 1984. San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a New York based visual artist with a B.F.A from Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico. Pagán's work investigates the domesticity of familiar places while highlighting their specific local characteristics. He is interested in spatiality, light, the in-betweenness of home and the diasporic nostalgia that surrounds him. Pagán exhibits continuously in Puerto Rico and New York.
