Emanuel Torres (Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico, 1988) creates abstract compositions where color is the main expression. 
Awarded with the Pollock-Krasner foundation grant in 2018, music and poetry are a constant source of inspiration in his work. as a result, rhythm constantly emanates from each composition, accompanying the viewers while they immerse themselves in the activity of deciphering these colorful shapes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Inspired by Francisco Matos Paoli’s Poem “Soy Un Rio Oscuro” the exhibition “Rio en la Mano” at the Art and Design Museum in Miramar, Puerto Rico asked the viewer to freely navigate through flowing forms full of color. some of these forms reveal elements from Taino, Maya, Aztec and Phoenicians cultures usually enhancing symbols of fertility and sexuality.
 Torres graduated from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras with a BA in theatre and philosophy and continued his studies in video art, installation and performance at the University of Puerto Rico, Cayey. He has participated in group and individual exhibitions across Puerto Rico, Japan, San Francisco and Florida.
