Jose Felipe Rios, Latino Artist Painter was born in San Jose Puerto Rico. This Puerto Rican Painter discovered his love for painting and talent for working with his hands early in his life. This very talented Puerto Rican painter, revived by hope, love for a child, a talent for art and the knowledge of who he no longer wanted to be.


Born in Puerto Rico, the youngest of a family of six: Mother, Father, two brothers and one sister. Jose F. Rios and his family moved to New York City in 1956 to an old tenement building. It was there Jose had his first encounter with art. Jose would ignore everything around him and would stare at the ceiling. He would use his eyes as brushes and the cracks and shadows as paints for his mind's canvas. Soon after Jose started school where his artistic talent was quickly acknowledged and awarded.


After High school Jose received three awards; one was the citywide art award, the other two were the highest art and photography award, given by the school. Even though Mr. Rios was encouraged by teachers to pursue an art career he decided against it. The bottom line to him was that Jose had been on my own since the age 16 (with help from my older brother). Mr. Rios felt it was more important to make a living . Jose realizes later on, that this was a mistake.


Mr. Rios started using (drugs) and found himself in a negative environment, in a world surrounded by crime and drug abusers. Jose's problem quickly progressed worse and worse, even more so after the death of his father. Deeply addicted to drugs and unable to function in society Jose becomes homeless for ten years.


Today, in the solitude of his studio,now with four years of clean time, in all this chaos he says "I was blessed with a beautiful daughter, Jephthahlyn Rios Rodriguez, who's a college graduate and the mother of his grandson." It is she, who organized his first solo showing. Mr. Rios' three and a half years of artwork is where jose speaks of his past, the present and always looking into the future.
