Luz Fugaz

Una Pausa Luminosa or A Luminous Pause serves as a metaphor for the Summer Solstice, that beguiling moment when the sun lingers at its zenith, bathing the world in the longest day of the year and signalling the arrival of summer. This season, replete with opportunities for reconnection with nature and appreciation of life's abundance, calls us to a meditative gratitude. It asks us to pause, reflect, and see through new eyes; to breathe, recuperate, and prepare for the future. In this exhibition, Rodriguez masterfully captures this essence of peaceful harmony, offering a poignant reflection on personal evolution and the rewards of patience.

With earthy tones and recurring motifs of sun-drenched lush, this series captures scenes of men engaging in rituals of harvest, embodying the patience, dedication, and resilience that Rodriguez has embraced as he explores the artisanal facets of his practice. The subjects of his paintings are strikingly large yet imbued with a lightness and flexibility that intrigue.
