Her romantic and powerful paintings are an excellent combination of classic and modern which captivates the eye with diverse emotions.

| My pictures present a chaotic “reality”, charged with poetry and figures in conflicting tensions. Their wings symbolize the need to find ones own way in the confines of local environs – and to accentuate and liberate ones true self. Diverse in shape and expression, they populate an empty space and develop, during the process of painting, particular characteristics and dynamics in relation to each other. They, become so to speak, alive in the course of the changes of their interrelationship, and are thus analogous to Darwin´s mutants, which survive by adapting to new circumstances. |


| "A work of art has to evoke ideas and emotions. The ones of Rodríguez evoke a feeling of uneasy pleasure. The human body, the probably oldest and most repeated subject of art, has in Rubén a creator sui generis, who repeats this motive without trying to draw comparisons, while still containing the various stages of art". |
