The Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade 2025

Rey Cultural Contestant | Artist | Advocate for Puerto Rican Heritage

Welcome to my corner of the world! My name is Rubén Santana, and I am honored to represent my hometown of Comerío in The Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade Pageant as Rey Cultural. As a passionate artist, my work is a vibrant reflection of my rich Puerto Rican culture, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, traditions, and stories that shape our identity.

Through my paintings, I aim to celebrate the beauty of our heritage, infusing each piece with the colors, rhythms, and emotions that resonate deeply within me. My art serves as a bridge between generations, honoring the past while inspiring future generations to embrace their roots.

I believe that art is a powerful medium for storytelling and connection. It allows us to share our experiences and foster understanding among diverse communities. As I participate in this pageant, I hope to shine a light on the importance of preserving our cultural legacy and promoting the arts as a vital part of our identity.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, let’s celebrate our culture and inspire one another through the beauty of art!
