Nino Morales

I am a Puerto Rican artist based in Buffalo, New York. I grew up between Puerto Rico and Buffalo, and both places continue to shape my art and how I see the world.

I work with acrylic, spray paint, and photography. My paintings use bold color and often reflect Puerto Rican history, traditions, and everyday life. I also create functional art people can use or wear, including hand-painted tables, hats, and handmade metal jewelry.

Some of my work is also available as prints, postcards, magnets, and wood pieces. I enjoy creating art that people can bring into their homes and everyday lives.

I teach art workshops and work with schools and community groups. I enjoy helping others create art and share their own stories.

My work honors my roots, my family, and the communities that shaped me—Puerto Rico, Buffalo, and the places I call home.
