Julia Rodriguez

Artist Statement

“The ideas I create with oils, and other mixed mediums, stimulates in me a sense of powerful mystery that captivates my imagination and inspires me to express different feelings. The colors I use are much related, and clearly define every joy in my life.” My art is like a puzzle piece that reflects my life. A simple palette of vibrant color gives me the inspiration to images that reflect the texture of life and reveal my feelings and passions. Through the viewer’s eye, my expression becomes complete...

Watching the colors of nature in every changing season, seeing the connection of nature and people’s emotions, and observing the power of all that is around us have been the inspiration and influence. In each of my paintings, the mysterious puzzle pieces represent life’s search while the vivid colors express a passage in life – all to be discovered and interpreted by the viewer."
