Renowned artist Mr.Rodolfo Vega Oviedo, is a painter, an interior architect, and a cultural administrator is awarded by the French Government for his cultural work and for consolidating links between France and Latin America.
Rodolfo’s paintings act almost like an axis that centres his distinctive stories. Carefully collected administrator, like wire, sand, and leaf, amongst others, synthesizes with his memories and results in a well-rehearsed composition. Acrylic and neon-painted canvases delightfully demonstrate an accumulation of universal or mythological motifs simplified on the verge of abstraction. Correspondingly, the juxtaposition of geometrical patterns, colours, and textures codifies his language yet makes them intriguing. Taking a close look at the composition reveals layers of motifs like architecture, temple, rays, the sun, the moon, and undoubtedly much more. Perhaps it depicts the sky with the movement of the sun or the moon in a three-dimensional space where, possibly, home is the key element. However, according to.
His work is part of various personal and public collections and he has exhibited in more than 20 countries around the world. Among these exhibitions and public collections is the Pompidou Museum in Metz, the Tehran Artistic House, the Spanish Ministry of Defense, the Gomez Palace in Havana, Cuba, etc.
