About me

My name is Brenda Rodríguez. I am a self-taught artist and designer currently based in New York City. I studied interior design in my hometown Lima, Peru and I dedicated myself for many years to the design and production of handmade rugs using different kind of natural fibers.

Despite not having completed my art studies, I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. From an early age I love to draw, paint and create things with my hands, and it wasn’t until recently where I started to make this aspect of my life more of a priority.

I became a single mother at the age of 20, so completing my design studies and being able to develop professionally and at the same time, to raise my son was a very difficult challenge for me.

By a twist of destiny, I moved to Germany in 2008, and since my bachelor’s degree as an interior designer was not recognized in that country, I start working in the commercial aviation industry for some years. However, my creative vocation was always present in my life. When relegated at home by Covid-19 I made the decision to have a new start and fully immerse myself into what really fascinates me and makes me happy: Painting.

Painting means to me the best way of communication and connection with the deepest side of my being. Through my art I can express my emotions, dreams and feelings. Painting is my favourite laguage, strongly influenced by who I am, my experiences, my travels, my relationship with others and with myself. Every artwork comes from it, a story that does not need words to be told, a journey without a set destination, a trip of my soul without a predefined outcome. Thank you for allowing me to share my art with you: Art created from the soul.
