Valentina Rodríguez
Born in Bogotá, Colombia (1998)
Currently studying MA Time based media at Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria. Bachelor in Fine Arts at National University of Colombia. My artistic journey has been enriched by various experiences, including being awarded the second prize at Premio Arte Jovén 2021 and showcasing my work at some incredible venues, including Nueveochenta Gallery and various film festivals around the world.
My artistic practice goes around the exploration of archive material and found footage. I'm interested in experimenting with images using different techniques such as painting, engraving, drawing, and analog animation. Central to my work is the manipulation of archive-image and the gap between reality and fiction that this may depict. I have a keen interest in converging drawing and painting within my video works, blurring the lines between traditional and digital mediums in animations and video. Through deliberate gestures and interventions, I consciously engage in the process of image creation, seeking to blur some of the boundaries of representation and give texture to my works.
