Ana Priscila Rodriguez

Ana Priscila Rodriguez, Netherlands

Ana Priscila Rodriguez, born 1974 in Mexico City, resides in The Netherlands since 1998. She Graduated cum laude from the Academy of Fine Arts in Utrecht, The Netherlands, specializing in Mixed Media and Photography. She has background studies in History and Graphic Design. “I create conceptual self portraits transforming images through a variety of techniques and mediums until they lose their contextual shape. For me, Transformation is the ultimate act of creation, it is the essence of the Art making. To be able to transform my reality into a magical realm where real life collides with dreams and nightmares, is what my work is all about. My work explores images from the past, giving vintage material, through a mixture of digital techniques, a completely new life and energy, all this evoking nostalgic textures and processes. The purpose of my images is to create a relatable shore for the emotional and psychological human experience. Every image is a window to a story using photography as a medium to create visuals attached to a feeling or an emotion.” Ana Priscila Rodriguez has exhibited numerous times in The Netherlands, both as a solo artist and as part of a collective group of internationally known Latin-American artists in Europe. In 2022 she participated in a collaboration multimedia project in Tel Aviv, Israel and in a collective exhibition in Vermont, USA. She is a resident artist in the Kunst Vassen Gallery in The Netherlands, where her work is available around the year. In 2022 she was awarded an Honorary Mention by Photo Place Gallery Awards in Vermont, USA, she is an awarded nominee in the 8th FAPA (Fine Art Photography Awards) in the professional category of photo manipulation and won a commended award at SIPA 2022
