ROSANA LARGO
RODRÍGUEZ
530 West 25th Street, New York, NY
Rosana Largo Rodríguez is a Spanish painter who uses natural pigments and classical techniques to achieve her surrealist style. Rodríguez meticulously arranges a variety of forms, symbols, and objects to create a dialogue surrounding current events. Her fantastical compositions emerge out of a darkened background, resembling a remembered dream upon waking. Delicate and provocative, while playing with themes of feminism, the loss of innocence, mortality, and parenthood, Rodríguez invited her viewers to rethink their relationships with the subjects depicted. Inspired by classical literature, Rodríguez invents imaginative worlds that surround both her subjects and her audience; always improvising on her blank canvas, rarely sketching out her compositions beforehand. Using olive oil as her last layer, instead of turpentine, gives each of her works a gentleness, creating a childlike quality of both wonder and the uncanny. In 2019, Largo was awarded the Michelangelo International Prize in Rome, one of the most prestigious art awards to be received.

My artistic inclinations start from the binomial: realism and imagination. I feel very comfortable improvising on a blank canvas; sometimes without an initial sketch. I use some techniques that are now in disuse, such as aniline dyes, and other natural pigments that give chromatic softness to my paintings. I detest turpentine - I use virgin olive oil, instead, which gives more texture to the colors and allows me to slow down the drying process. Normally I take my time to get an optimal light which allows me to see different contrasts.
