The twins, Jaime and Javier Suárez Berrocal, born in Colombus, Ohio, on 12 September 1982. In 2007 and 2008 they obtained high school diplomas in Fine Arts from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Then, they travel to Spain with the interest to continue their postgraduate studies. In 2010, they obtained their Masters degree in Artistic Production at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, specializing in Public Art. During their residence in Spain, they begin to research topics on minimal interventions in natural environments, developing concepts and strategies for balanced implementation in the environment. Nowadays, they ask themselves how can rehabilitate ecosystems through artistic practice and to combine their work with natural processes bilógicos, maximizing the use of natural resources in their creations. Both work together under a manifesto known as VientreCompartido production and their works are in major collections such as Arte de Ponce Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico, Francisco Oller Museum, Foundation for Puerto Rico and Art_Fist Foundation, among others. They are artists living currently in Bayamon and they have also been invited to be part of the next round of artist residencies at Casa Wabi, Oaxaca, Mexico.
