The visual dynamic of the work is in every element qualifying every other element, the relation of adjuncts to each other and to the conglomeration. My work speaks about ancestral knowledge and memories that are kept alive through common rituals and objects, the power of association and the story-telling tradition. I make mixed media objects, which incorporate painting, digital imagery, installation and assemblage from wood, acrylic, found objects and ready-mades. Upon close inspection of this striking assemblage, one can see the ghostly images of human forms marked on the porcelain. The imagery evokes a range of archetypal themes and employs a new vocabulary of classical and urban origin.
Complex simplicity creates the graphic composition.
The empowerment of the spiritual and emotional evolves from the act of their own creation and defines a distinctive quality. Rodriguez s deep and mysteriously colored pieces employ contemporary photographic images from our mass media. By integrating these faces with rich paint and metallic stenciling, the cumulative effect recalls both fashion magazines and Eastern European religious icons. I used bold dancing colors integrated with sharp realism in overindulgent compositions. The work is a somewhat heroic and adventurous journey into men s and women s relationships with the computer as interpreted by the artist.
