Roberto “Yiyo” Tirado has a bachelor’s degree in design and fine arts from the School of Fine Arts of Puerto Rico. In a general sense, the production of his works is based on territorial studies on the political, symbolic, and aesthetic construction of public spaces in Caribbean areas. In specific terms, the analysis model is directed mainly to critical reflection on landscape, architecture and how these concepts are related to the colonial status of Puerto Rico. Under a varied field of disciplines such as sculpture, engraving, painting, photography and installation, work processes are established that put in tension the contemporary forms of colonialism and the different tourist economies that shape the territory at a representational and social level. In 2015, he founded the contemporary art space KM 0.2, with the artist Karlo Andrei Ibarra, with whom he directs the project space located in the Santurce neighborhood. He has exhibited in various institutional spaces and in several countries such as: Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, the United States, Spain and the Dominican Republic. His individual and collective exhibitions include: Tropical Blizz Ball Sale (Recinto Cerra, Puerto Rico), “Caribbean Blues” (Mana Contemporary Miami), “Dislocaciones” (La Liga del Arte, Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico), “Doble Vara” (Casa Quien, Santo Domingo, República Dominicana), “Hipervisibilidad del paisaje” (Proyecto Local, San Juan, Puerto Rico). He lives and works in Puerto Rico.
