Al Amanecer

Gabriella Rodriguez is a multimedia artist who gently reflects on early formed memories and cultural emblems in her artwork. She layers these images with different mediums and textiles to craft familiar, yet vague moments in time. Playful colors and solemn moments hold hands in every piece. Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, she received her BA in Studio Art and Psychology from Whittier College, CA. Rodriguez has exhibited her work throughout Las Vegas and California. She was featured in two recent shows curated by the Scrambled Eggs collective, Sketch Party at Fremont Photo Co (2024) and Never a Cat’s Paw at The Gather House (2023). Her favorite childhood snack is pasta de guayaba con queso fresco, which is held near and dear to her heart.

“I sometimes wonder why the nature of life is the exaggeration between simple and grandiose. Colors and shapes exist within complex vocabulary, concealed messages and the extensive system of cells keeping me alive. I don’t understand it, but I recognize it. I paint what I see as a form of condolence for not being able to know. I paint because things feel good sometimes and bad other times.”
