Rodrigo Martín - Into the lines

Technique: Acrylic

Artist Biography: Rodrigo Martín was born in 1986 in Langreo (Asturias). He currently lives and works in Madrid. When he chose to study the Bachelor of Arts, he began to have a more direct contact with the art world. He began to be interested in painting and the different possibilities offered by drawing applied in its various techniques. Determined to continue with his artistic training, in 2004 he entered the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Basque Country, where he specialized in Print intaglio and graphic technique. This helped him to understand more deeply the drawing and the possibilities of the line. In September 2008 he traveled to Barcelona to finish his Fine Arts studies, with the idea of improving his painting in a city that offered him new artistic and creative skills. He began to focus his style on abstract expressionism and to study the whole tradition of abstract painting offered by the city, which undoubtedly influenced his work. He was selected for several exhibitions in the north of Spain that allowed him to become known in different galleries and art circuits. At this time, he finished a Master's Degree in Artistic Creation and began a pre-doctoral work called "The Pictorial Unconscious: Origin and Impulse in the Creative Process of Abstraction". In recent years she has participated in multiple group exhibitions in different cities in Spain, Boston, London ... and has also had solo exhibitions in different galleries in the country where her art has evolved more than ever to bring her closer to a geometric abstraction that expands the limit of painting to almost play with the sculptural. She currently develops her pictorial work in Madrid, where she lives. "Cuadratura", her most recent exhibition in the capital, gives way to the current series of paintings, which continue to explore all the possibilities that color and geometry can give to a canvas, a paper and even a wall (mural painting).
