Rodrigo Ímaz
Through poetical analogies of nature and anthropogenic events, Rodrigo Ímaz‘s practice emphasizes the inadequacies of instrumental reason, while critiquing contemporary society by exploring the violent nature of the relationship between life and cycles of nature. In his work, organic forms arise, threatening human pride and its arrogance and the course of progress, while poetry ennobles language and human creations.”

He has been awarded the scholarship for Master Studies from the National Fund for Arts (FONCA) and the Youth Award (INJUVE) – Colección Jumex.
