Erick Rodriguez - Visual Artist
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton
My creative process has evolved since I was first introduced to art, or at least first fell in love with art. Before I took art serious, I would never really practice my craft and feel the need to only dwell on what I had already created.
I see things differently now, I do not dwell on my created art rather I dwell on the next piece I am working on and so on. It feels more fluid and consistent to me now as I see that I should never take a break from art. It is something I am very passionate about and always make time to create something. Sometimes that something can lead to a bigger project. Other times it leads to new ideas which then lead to new projects all together.
As I am writing this, I see that my current creative process dwells on the now, works heavily on the now, yet focuses on both the now and the bigger picture.
I am a visual artist and mainly focus on Digital Media (Graphic Arts/Design), Photography, and Filmmaking. Although these are my current occupations, I see myself getting into the field of Studio Art later on.
I love art, each and every field of art has its own beautiful crafts. With that being said, I will not rule out any medium of art as they are all important in their own respective way. My vision is to incorporate as many mediums as possible into my own work and learn each and every one of them.
