ABOUT THE artist
Juan Rodriguez Varón
Painter
Bogotá, Colombia
Juan Rodríguez Varón’s work explores the intricate relationships of space, tension, and form through painting. His practice focuses on elements such as the scale of monochromatic fields, the repetition of gestures, and the interplay of lines and light.
Rodríguez Varón earned an MFA from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (2019–2020), where he received the prestigious MFA Painting Award. He also holds a BFA from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá (2007–2012).
By emphasizing how objects bend or interact with their surroundings, Rodríguez Varón captures fleeting moments in nature, offering viewers a sense of autonomy and order within these interactions. His work seeks to reveal how the natural world evades human thought and provides a glimpse into its inherent unpredictability.
