Shamanistic Alchemy

A Oil Painting Exhibition

By

Carlos Rodriguez

 

Enabling meditative consciousness to surface through creative expression provides the spiritual movements with form and perspective. Utilizing imagery and elemental science as the mediums for cultural conveyance, Carlos Rodriguez explores the reflective spectrum of humanist dynamics within our global society. Channeling energy with a directive vision that shapes the contours of design, Rodriguez’s paintings balance awareness with the spontaneous nature of inspiration and the interactive volatility of chemicals. By layering textures, colors and tones with emotion and introspection, Rodriguez's artwork shares intimate experiences with metaphysical roots that extend the borders of thought.

"By embracing the potential within myself, I become open to the possibilities of creation. My artwork manifests through meditation and the projected thoughts that reveal themselves with inspired vision."

Before moving to Miami in 2001, Rodriguez, a native Puerto Rican, lived in Ithaca, New York for 6 years where he learned to expand his expressive dynamics and earn a BFA from Cornell University. After 16 years of painting and mixed media art, Rodriguez cites the works of Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Paul Gauguin, Marc Chagall, Ludwig van Beethoven, Pearl Jam, Bob Marley, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Max Ernst, Alfred Hitchcock, Moby, Igor Stravinsky, Jimi Hendrix and the universal power of creation as inspirational forces and creative stimulants for his own pieces. While in Puerto Rico, Rodriguez studied art with classes at Liga de Arte, Casa Candina and the Universidad de Puerto Rico. During his time in Ithaca, Rodriguez contributed his talent and directing skills to a variety of organizations including, CUSLAR (Committee on US_Latin_American Relations) and the GIAC (Greater Ithaca Activities Center) where he designed and painted murals with student groups. Carlos has also displayed his work locally with ALAS in Little Havana and he is currently augmenting his technical skills with an assortment of visual mediums, including web design. The Wallflower Gallery is proud to present Carlos Rodriguez as a featured artist for this Fine Art Exhibition.
