Karina Rodríguez

Is a contemporary artist known for her hyperrealistic painting. Her works are regularly still lifes, composed with great determination to achieve the perfect balance. Her paintings are made in oil, based on photography, dedicating many hours of work to achieve better details, always trying to give the viewers a clear idea of what they are seeing. The use of everyday elements in her compositions reflects the experiences of the time and her clean brushstrokes often cause the work to be confused with a photograph. Born in 1988 in La Romana, Dominican Republic; Art has always been a part of her life and for the last fifteen years she has been painting as a way of living, perfection and meticulous details lead her to lean towards realism, seeking to overcome it more and more until reaching hyperrealism. The artist has participated in several exhibitions and competitions, studied different subjects that helped her improve her skills and more recently got a degree in history and art criticism. Her works has been exhibited next to masters of the hyperrealism at the Museo Español de Arte Moderno in Spain and the Modern Art Museum of her country Dominican Republic. Her works are part of numerous private collections around the world.
