Roberto #1 draws its spirit from the Roberto Clemente Bridge—an enduring landmark that spans more than a river. In this abstract work, I was less interested in literal structure and more focused on what the bridge represents: strength, connection, and the quiet resolve of a journey that became iconic.

Bold lines and vibrant color echo the bridge’s presence and Clemente’s force of character—his drive, his ambition, and his unwavering commitment to others. There is momentum here, but also restraint. Power balanced by humility. Motion grounded in grace. Like Clemente himself, the piece carries both intensity and kindness at the same time.

At its core, Roberto #1 is about crossing. Crossing cities. Crossing moments in life. Crossing into something greater than where you started. It asks viewers to reflect on their own bridges—those of growth, understanding, friendship, and purpose—and to step onto them with confidence.

This piece is meant to live with you. To bring color and meaning into your space. To quietly remind you that bridges do more than connect places—they unite people, carry legacies, and help us move forward with courage. Through every viewing, may the spirit of Roberto Clemente endure, and may you find strength in the crossing.
