Molina was born in Estelí, Nicaragua, in 1976. He was forced to flee Nicaragua when he was ten years old, escaping from the civil war in the 1980s, when Daniel Ortega was president. He returned to the country afterwards, attending Polytechnic University of Nicaragua but spending most of his time in the library that received the major United States periodicals, and studying the political cartoons they published. He published his first two cartoons in "Barricada" in 1995, and has since become a cartoonist for the digital outlet "Confidencial". In 2018 he received the Inter American Press Association Cartoonist Category Award. Molina went into exile again in December of the same year, when Ortega's police killed a journalist, detained two others and ransacked the office of "Confidencial", taking its press room. Molina was also subject to personal threats which escalated at this time.
