Edwin “Don Rimx” Sepúlveda emerged from San Juan’s Nemesio R. Canales public housing complex, developing his artistic voice through formal training at Central High School of Visual Arts and Escuela de Artes Plásticas. His 2009 move to Brooklyn transformed his work, where he developed his signature style, blending skeletal structures, architectural elements, and vibrant colors to explore connections between people and their environments. His notable “16 Barras” project connected neighborhoods through murals featuring portraits and poetry. Don Rimx has created significant works for prominent clients, including Electronic Arts, Starbucks, Apple Music, Burger King, Moncler, Sony Music, Converse, and Maker’s Mark. His murals span the US, Puerto Rico, Spain, Germany, Japan, Ecuador, Mexico, and Sierra Leone. Recognition includes The New York Times features, a Key to the City of Lynn, MA, and Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review. Recent notable projects include “Artesano” (Feria de Artesanías XXVII, San Juan), “Esencia de Naranjito”, “Roots of Empowerment & Garden of Beginnings” (Boston), and “The Golden Flower” (Disney Springs). Now based in Orlando, Don Rimx creates transformative public art that stimulates curiosity and builds cultural bridges. His murals blend classical techniques with urban expression, creating landmarks that reflect community identity and resonate with diverse audiences.
