Music, religion, and spirit. Aguilar also, loves the myth's and legends of other cultures because of the magic and spirit within them. Aguilar lives in New York and is married to Reina Miranda, who also an artist.
Artist Statement: A lot of my work represents the spiritual side of the Taino people and Native Americans. Stories told and some untold. I continually try to come from a fresh and simpler point of view. To date the people who collect my work are always waiting for the next painting and asking for more.
