Miguel Rodez

Miguel Rodez is a multidisciplinary artist. He was born at Havana Cuba in 1956, but has lived in the US since 1969. He studied History, Philosophy and English Literature at the University of Miami and Law at Indiana University. His education eventually led to a long career in a quasi-judicial post as a civil servant in the field of human rights. Nevertheless, he managed to carve out a parallel career as a professional artist and now devotes himself to art exclusively.

Like most artists, Rodez’s interest in art began in his childhood. Although he had a brief educational stint at the High school of Art and Design in New York City and a course in figure drawing at the University of Miami, he considers himself an autodidactic contemporary artist.

Miguel Rodez engages in self-directed art creation, but also entertains commission requests. His Painting body of work includes abstract, figurative, and portrait pieces that range in size from miniatures to colosal sizes. His paintings are easily recognizable by a unique painting technique that has become his signature style.

Rodez’s sculptural and public art output often has a minimalist feel. His public art is tailored to specific sites, but he also creates itinerant pieces that have been exhibited at several parks and botanical gardens.

Miguel Rodez’s success as an artist has earned him a listing in Wikipedia and his artwork has been shown in various venues, including some Palm Beach Island galleries; the Coral Gables Museum; Coral Springs Museum, St. Thomas University Museum; Florida International University’s Green Library; Albizu University; Bacardi Headquarters; Miami Downtown’s Bayfront Park; Miami Beach’s Botanical Garden; Dominican Republic’s Palace of Fine Arts; Milander Center for the Arts; Wynwood Art District; Miami Design District; the Bird Road Art District.
