Brenda Rodríguez

Water as a living medium of expression.

“My technique is water. Pigment is simply a medium for water to leave its mark. Water connects me to what is most vital — to movement and constant change. My works are the trace of what happens with water as I paint, in a continuous interplay between form and formlessness. Water softens and brings everything to life. The body, nature, and vitality are at the center of my work. Without a doubt, water is the magic.”

Her. Water

Artist Brenda Rodríguez · Director Nora Dechant

A performance in which I paint on a large wall using only water. Within minutes, the water evaporates, allowing the work to be transformed again and again.

The performance was captured in Her Water, an award-winning short film (Director: Nora Dechant) — official selection at the 3rd Festival de Mujeres de Medios Audiovisuales, Latest Visions International Women's Day Film Festival, and Kuala Lumpur International Film Awards, and winner at Chauri Chaura and Sittannavasal International Film Festival.

Brenda is the Argentine representative of the Arts and Films Wing of G100.

AGUAS. A project that travels through countries honoring their WATERS through art. The artist goes to the source. Painting with seawater, immersed in that environment, with all the information that implies being in direct contact with the water, the wind, the temperature, the people. It is something like surrendering to receive information without filters in order to transfer it onto the canvas.
