Ángel Rivera-Morales is originally from the Caimito, a vicinity on the southern outskirts of San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 1999, he entered the University of Puerto Rico where he obtained a degree in Bachelor’s degree in Humanities with a concentration in Fine Arts.

In 2012, Angel moved to Central Florida where for years he has established his practice as an artist and cultural manager. As part of this administration, he has directed projects of collective and individual exhibitions among which “La Diaspora” and “Custodians of the Inheritance”. Some of these projects have been featured in museums in cities like Chicago, Ocala, and Orlando. In 2021 Angel began his studies for a Master of Visual Arts at Jacksonville University. He currently combines his artistic practice and self-management practice as an art teacher in the Osceola School District.
