Miguel Luciano works across media, including painting, sculpture, and public art. Luciano was born in Puerto Rico, and his works explore its neocolonial relationship with the United States. He touches on topics such as race, labor, class, consumerism, and popular culture.

Luciano’s practice focuses on past and present activism. In Shields / Escudos, the artist comments on the widespread closure of schools in Puerto Rico. He repurposed metal from school buses into protest objects. The artist lives in New York City.
