AcomaArt pledges to provide you with superior quality Art and handcrafted products.
My name is Alvin Colon, professionally known as “Acóma.” I am a Boston-based artist with over 20 years of experience as a painter, muralist, educator, and gallery owner. My artistic journey began at the age of 11 with graffiti art, and by 1995, I was featured in “Graffiti In The House,” an exhibit at the Massachusetts State House. This early opportunity to showcase my work at such a prestigious venue inspired me to expand my practice onto canvas.
Since then, I have collaborated with numerous artists and created murals throughout the Boston area. In 1999, I attended MassArt, where I studied graphic design and further refined my artistic skills. During college, I co-owned MadInk, designing and airbrushing custom apparel for individuals seeking one-of-a-kind garments unavailable in major retail stores.
In 2010, I opened Paris Street Gallery (PSG) in Everett, MA, creating seven artist studios and a gallery space. At PSG, I hosted numerous community events and featured artists who have since launched successful careers.
In 2014, I was commissioned by the Boston Police Academy to create a portrait of the late Mayor Menino, which I had the honor of presenting during his final year in office. In 2017, I completed a 20’ x 8’ mural in Roxbury titled “Children Are the Future,” depicting a young child holding a flower while gazing at Earth from the stars—a work celebrating hope, imagination, and possibility.
In recent years, I have become known for my interior murals, particularly in Latin restaurants, where I bring the vibrant influences of my Puerto Rican heritage to life. Some of my favorite projects include murals at Achilitos Taqueria (all locations), Chilacates (Roslindale), Doras Taqueria (all locations), Guira y Tambora (Roslindale), and The Dog House Restaurant (Woburn, MA). My most recent mural was just completed this year 2026 in Haverhill MA at The Lasting Room restaurant. It features imagery of Boston Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots and also Brockton's Legendary boxer Marvelous Hagler. I look forward to future opportunities and community events.
