Rodrigo Echeverría

Rodrigo, born in 1988, is a visual artist based in Mexico City. His practice moves through the intersections of figurative painting, portraiture, and landscape, exploring themes of memory, identity, and imagination through a distinctly neo-baroque sensibility — one that embraces the coexistence of heterogeneous visual languages within a single pictorial body.

Conceived from his interest in how perception is shaped by emotional, historical, and environmental contexts, his work unfolds through layered compositions and an intentionally eclectic visual vocabulary. Each piece seeks to evoke both affective and conceptual responses, inviting viewers into spaces where beauty and contradiction coexist.

Rodrigo’s paintings resist linear readings, unfolding instead through multiple interpretations. They often stage a tension between excess and disappearance — between ornamental density and the quiet presence of what is overlooked.

He conceives of his practice as a form of visual archaeology, one that excavates the symbolic ruins of paradise while questioning the power structures embedded within notions of beauty. Each work becomes an invitation to look beyond surface appearances, towards the layered histories, emotions, and violences that shape the act of seeing oneself.

He has undertaken important portrait commissions, including a portrait for the Second Chamber of the Nation’s Supreme Court of Justice, and his collectors encompass all levels of society.
