Adjuntas.- After achieving multiple successes in several cities in the United States, Puerto Rican muralist Danny Torres returned to his native town of Adjuntas to paint murals, as part of a project promoted by Casa Pueblo, a local grassroots organization.

The 63-year-old virtuoso has lived in Philadelphia for many years. There, he cultivated a long career in public art through impressive works showcased, mainly, in Puerto Rican communities. A year and a half ago, Danny moved his palette of life experiences from Philadelphia to the so-called 'Tierra de lagos', to create a series of paintings inspired by the theme of solar energy, strategically placed in various parts of the downtown area, and some neighborhoods.
