My work explores identity through language, color, and space, while remaining grounded in the formal concerns of sculpture and painting. As a Puerto Rican artist shaped by a diasporic experience in Chicago, I am interested in the distance between cultural memory and lived reality. I use minimal forms and text to engage how race, place, and belonging are constructed and perceived, using color, material, and the placement of forms in space to shape how meaning is perceived.

He received a BFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MFA from Northwestern University. Pellot’s practice extends across studio work and collaborative production, engaging projects in both independent and institutional contexts.
