part of a series in which the artist draws and paints using as a method the modification of sequin fabrics creating design patterns made up of figures that resemble geometric abstraction but whose iridescent colors are radically alien to the characteristic tones of this pictorial tradition. Through this textile work, the material and the color palette, Rodrigo feminizes his implicit suprematist and constructivist pictorial references - fundamentally masculine artistic movements.
The result is usually a cultural and identity hybridization. If the abstraction in Latin America has served as the aseptic language of a vanguard that left behind expressions linked to racial identity (as did, for example, the figurative painting of a nationalist cut of the early twentieth century), Rodrigo undermines the supposed purity of abstract language-his sentimental geometry, improvisedly handcrafted, makes it imprecise, inaccurate and subject to the limited capabilities of the human trace.
