Favianna Rodriguez

Favianna Rodriguez is a celebrated printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California.
Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative
migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day
laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juárez, Mexico, or her own abstract
self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens.
Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts.

Hailed as "visionary" and "ubiquitous," Rodriguez is renown for her vibrant posters dealing
with issues such as war, immigration, globalization, and social movements. By creating lasting
popular symbols - where each work is the multiplicand and its location the multiplier - her work
interposes private and public space, as the art viewer becomes the participant carrying art
beyond the borders of the museum. To read more about Favianna Rodriguez go to
