Born in Puerto Rico in 1967 and has lived there and in New York as well; He identifies himself as a “Nuyorican.” Cintrón says his works reflect the clash between these two different identities and the diaspora of Puerto Rican people living outside the island (particularly in the United States). In the larger context of Puerto Rican art, the clash of identities is a very common theme; Puerto Rico as an island and nation has always been occupied or controlled by another country, and the inhabitants need to fight to express and maintain their own nationality. Puerto Rican artists like Cintrón carry out this work of struggle through their art.
