Rodríguez-Chaves’ Valentina — an oil painting of a Costa Rican girl — reflects the artist’s ongoing investigation into how images construct personal and collective memory. Known for his collage-like approach, Rodríguez-Chaves draws from archival and digital sources to explore the relationship between perception, ideology and representation.
In this oil painting of a Costa Rican girl, fragmented visual references are assembled into a single image that feels intimate and distanced. The work questions what we accept as truth within visual culture and how historical narratives are filtered through the language of the image.
Through subtle distortion and compositional layering, Rodríguez-Chaves reframes portraiture as a site of inquiry — one that examines the power of images to define identity and reflect the social and political conditions from which they emerge.
