Get to know the artist
ABDERLY
Growing up in New York City, back in the era of graffiti riddled trains and rundown buildings, what some saw as vandalism - I saw as ART all around me!
I saw artistic expression, showcasing what really surrounded my neighborhood when the sun set, VIOLENCE!! My name is Abderly, and I am a student of the arts. Born in New York City to Dominican parents in the early 90's, nothing came easy. As new immigrants who barely spoke the language, I was witness to both my parents working their way up from nothing. They now stand as owners of multiple properties. I learned early on that you only fail at something if you choose to quit.
