Description
Hyperrealist artist Eliecer Rodríguez paints with striking detail to address environmental degradation and consumer culture. His art juxtaposes everyday objects, like plastic bags, with natural elements such as marine life, emphasising the consequences of consumerism. Rodríguez’s paintings transform mundane items into symbols of ecological crises, challenging viewers to reflect on the impact of modern life on the environment.
His collaboration with renowned artist Tomás Sánchez has significantly influenced his technical and conceptual approach. Rodríguez’s connection to Costa Rica’s marine environment infuses his work, making it a poignant call to reconsider our relationship with nature and the often-overlooked effects of consumer culture.
In Transfiguración, Rodríguez uses a reduced colour palette of blue, yellow, and off-white to depict a crumpled piece of paper floating in mid-air, casting a shadow beneath it as if caught in a breeze. The hyperrealistic portrayal of this seemingly mundane piece of garbage elevates its significance, highlighting the tension between beauty and waste, and reflecting on the overlooked impact of discarded objects.
