El intruso en el batey

Vidal M. Torres, artisan, visual artist, poet, and storyteller, was born in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, and raised in the town of Corozal, where from an early age he discovered his love for nature, culture, and the traditions of his homeland. He studied Fine Arts during the 1980s, developing a style filled with color, emotion, and Boricua roots. Throughout his career, he has devoted himself to the visual and literary arts, expressing in every creation his deep affection for his people and his land. He currently shares his artistic project from Puerto Rico, carrying his culture across the sea, building bridges between communities through art, poetry, and tradition. For decades, he has been a tireless promoter of emerging talent, sharing his experience and passion alongside his wife, Wanda V. Pedrosa, who is also a visual artist, poet, and writer. Together, they have dedicated their lives to preserving and celebrating Puerto Rican culture, inspiring new generations to value their roots and keep their cultural identity alive.
