After being bowled over by Alexis Rusieco’s work in an interview in this months VICE magazine, we rushed over to his website to check out more of his stunning photographs.  This Cuban queer artist/performer/photographer started this series called Reinas (Queens) in Miami before he migrated to Brooklyn to continue the project and collect a BFA at Parsons at the same time.

Rusieco’s dynamic portfolio of work investigates self-hood and trauma, and speaking to the way sexuality constructs identity. It includes several self-portraits like the one above.

Read the whole VICE article to get his take on his work,  but meanwhile here are some other awe-inspiring pieces from the Reinas series.
