Biography
Carolina Rodriguez-Baptista was born and grew up in Venezuela. She moved to U.S. in 1992 to attend the Parsons School of Design in New York and worked several years as a graphic design professional. Following a period of 10 years in New York City, she decided to dedicate herself fully to the arts and to her development as a sculptor.
Her works use the human form as a central element of the creative speech and consist of figures with minimalist features that express a wide range of thoughts and questions. Her sculptures contain a unique mix of volume and movement, together with a use of patinas that provide her world with strong symbolism.
Each of her pieces is the result of multiple sources of inspiration, with the most important one being the complex world of women: maker of life, owner of the secret keys of wisdom and intuition, driving force of the pieces that move the game of life.
While she has explored the feminine nature and the role of women in her art, she is also drawn to subjects such as love, eroticism, dreams, liberty and choices.
As an sculptor Carolina works primarily in bronze and uses gestures and perceived attitudes in her works of art that allow different interpretations to each viewer.
She has spent the last several years between Miami (Fla.) and Madrid (Spain) where she currently has her art studio, and has exhibited in Madrid, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Miami and Caracas, as well as obtained various prizes for the quality and originality of her works.
