About

Xavier "Raiser" Maldonado is a Puerto Rican urban artist, professional skateboarder, and founder of SOLORAISE™. His creative journey began in the streets through skateboarding and graffiti, where concrete walls and skateparks became his first canvas. What started as a passion for self-expression evolved into more than 15 years of creating large-scale murals, contemporary artworks, and mixed-media pieces inspired by street culture, Caribbean identity, and everyday life.

Today, Raiser bridges the worlds of fine art and urban art, transforming public spaces and galleries alike while staying true to the culture that shaped him. Whether painting a mural, creating an original canvas, or collaborating with brands and communities, every piece reflects the same philosophy: art should inspire, connect, and leave a lasting mark.
