Local Paint: Color From San Juan to El Yunke

Local Paint: Color From San Juan to El Yunke


'Local Paint' is a new series of color studies by Alex Fuller. The series sets out to capture color specific to different regions from around the world. His first stop, the the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

Warm sun, water and color everywhere. I quickly became obsessed with capturing as much of the local paint as possible. Wonderful combinations, weathering and texture. A true reflection of the island and culture.

Hey this is cool. I am from Puerto Rico.

First it is San JUAN not San Yuan.

Let me tell you that painting our houses is like a ritual and a competition. You dont want to end up having the same colors as your neighbor. No sir. We love color and as shown above you can see that by the variety of colors that he captured there.

Some people here are more risque than others but overall we enjoy bright ones. I think we have a great sense of the use of color and dare to make combinations that most people dont even think of.

Wow! Some of those pictures are really quite beautiful.

That's very interesting Reavel. I live in the suburbs of Northern California, where everyone paints their houses in basically the same color. Puerto Rico sounds exciting!
