Nitza Tufiño's ceramic tile murals grace the stairwell walls at the station. The work was based upon her research and interviews with neighborhood residents, many of whom are of Latin American and Caribbean heritage. The mural designs and imagery were also inspired by the petroglyphs of the Taïno Indians, Puerto Rico's first inhabitants, and by Mayan and Aztec motifs. The work is meant to be a lively guide through the streets and subways of New York City and captures the energy and rhythms of the surrounding neighborhoods.

Nitza Tufiño is a renowned Nuyorican artist based in New York City. Utilizing multiple media forms such as ceramic, oil painting, drawing, and print making, Tufiño's work explores Mexican, Caribbean, and Classic roots to champion non-western historical narratives. Tufiño’s commitment to art education and to public art has been endemic to the cultural landscape of New York, and has lead to her receiving numerous awards including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts Artist Fellowship. She is also a member of El Consejo Grafico Nacional, a coalition of Latino printmakers and printmaking workshops across the United States.
