I wanted to depict the fluidity and changing of thoughts and realities as we shape them in our minds. We are very much like water changing states, but we remain the same. Water is still water when in the ocean, on it’s way up, as a cloud and as rain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1594685949964-7CQ4MR70SI26QPXV7J18/doggy.jpg Paintings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1518651187163-V7HKXQD5YS6YL2AQPEMS/D7DC6F32-3494-4409-AF7B-D0FEA56B9B2F.jpeg Paintings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1518651120220-E5WX26ZQ60QC33QWWA8K/E80E5E81-7E70-4B54-B7B9-20710DF40AC7.jpeg Paintings - Mapped Mapped 2017 Acrylic, Charcoal on Wood Panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1496729364260-5V4UJHQY6L2JHDLMXI4J/dream1.jpg Paintings - The Dream Dream Sequence Acrylic on Canvas 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1560202645382-YU6VF9HN1D71V748LQN2/Alien+Hands.jpg Paintings - Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work Acrylic 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1486693688267-NC59H8LEPIKT615JOCI0/6648D87A-DC51-4039-AB02-9FBAEFE20916.jpg Paintings - Study of Medusa by Caravaggio oil paint on canvas circa 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1551304599188-I95XQ7EBGU2Y9B60ICWV/IMG-1038.JPG Paintings - Duality. acrylic paint on canvas 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1486696236662-NCQK9R73KPVE3V240QQ4/File_000.jpeg Paintings - You, Me Us Mixed Media on Canvas 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1486696336352-2GKJHNBE2ZVEL7KQQ8Z1/File_000+%281%29.jpeg Paintings - & Inside of Us Oil paint, acrylic markers blacklight markers 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1485396800236-ROQDT0BKBNPCO9O9KFOQ/Ussmall.jpg Paintings - Us Acrylic paint & markers on canvas. done over the span of 2016-2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1487538959537-UXSJPA8GQNZ3VCAKSUXP/Zombie+Duck.jpg Paintings - Zombie Duck 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1560202710910-WL4ZOMD73LQZIZDTVAY0/0B704630-B277-4C98-80DB-01F5D2B57BF7.jpg Paintings - dream sequence 2016 Blacklight on left https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596496162146-TU91DVOZ3IOANRK7ZYQC/FullSizeRender%2B%25281%2529.jpg Paintings - Mona oil paint & acrylic markers on canvas.

I was in awe in how simple this is but that light shining with the fog made me think of clouds, or mountain ranges. The sounds of one of my favorite artists, Tame Impala was echoing in my head as I looked at the rolling clouds inside this light beam. I wanted to replicate that feeling into my painting, clouds or fog throughout but it’s only really be seen in the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051849007-JRIW7AUWILFKIYPTAN96/HayuMarca.JPG Work - HayuMarca “Hayu Marca” is a wooden board that I cut out into the shape of the mysterious HayuMarca door located Peru. The actual engraving has a small round indent in the middle almost as if to insert a small disk into it. Legend says there was a special metal disk one would insert in there to open the door. After making these two initial paintings I was absolutely stuck. What else or how else can I interpret ‘portal’ and what does it mean to me? For a while I started to re-think why I chose this subject in the first place. If I chose something else, where would my paintings be? Even my close friends told me that my new pieces were uncharacteristic of me. I started to continuously dwell on these factors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596052861325-VU2EQKK8PSYIFNE7EQLS/Pills.jpg Work - The Decision “The Decision” Acrylic on Canvas 60” x 60” each I made the decision to make these two pieces after trying to rattle my brain on how to conclude my thesis. I as really starting to question myself on why I even went down this road to begin with. I wanted to highlight that a portal could be a decision, leading you into a new reality, or maybe it was a door that you go into that takes you elsewhere. I started thinking about birth, and death, and that mysterious ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. What was it that you really see when you die? Is it really a light? Should you go through it, or not? Was this tunnel leading to an end, or a new beginning? I started to contemplate all these things and what it could mean. Part of me didn’t want to see it so negatively, what if the light at the end of the tunnel is what you see right before you’re reborn again? What if you had the decision to go towards a light? What’s in that void before going in? I decided I wanted to take on this modern idea often seen in pop culture of this ‘blue pill, red pill’ decision. These two paintings could only live together and next to each other. I want the viewer to stand in between them and contemplate the importance of decision-making and creating a new reality. The blue light will be pointing towards the upper left hand side of the canvas, while the red light will be towards the upper right hand side of the canvas, both surrounded by the black-ness of the void. You/They have reached a crossroad in life. Which one will you take? Which one are you more inclined to walk towards? This encapsulates my whole thinking throughout the semester…what a portal actually is, or perhaps a sort of portal. It could be as simple as coming to a crossroads and making a decision that may (or may not be) crucial to how the rest of your path is paved. This is something I consistently ponder on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051877581-MKU2O596CM7X2KLMX6FI/Blue+Pill.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051887619-VJ201CFNEXOPAUYQASWC/Red+Pill.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596494577983-FKJ8HXLPP6G7EFENJIZR/IMG-1870.jpg Work - Untitled I made these next couple of pieces in response to the world and its increasing use of technology and humans all over furthering themselves from themselves and their innate energies and powers.

took at a concert where I saw so many different layers of lights and lasers and when the main light was shining on stage, you could see the fog more prominently. I was in awe in how simple this is but that light shining with the fog made me think of clouds, or mountain ranges. The sounds of one of my favorite artists, Tame Impala was echoing in my head as I looked at the rolling clouds inside this light beam. I wanted to replicate that feeling into my painting, clouds or fog throughout but it’s only really be seen in the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596055473936-U9G91WLN8AGDY3SRDOUK/Church.jpg Portals - Church Acrylic on Canvas 40” x 30” “Church” started off as an image I took at a concert where I saw so many different layers of lights and lasers and when the main light was shining on stage, you could see the fog more prominently.

The actual engraving has a small round indent in the middle almost as if to insert a small disk into it. Legend says there was a special metal disk one would insert in there to open the door. After making these two initial paintings I was absolutely stuck. What else or how else can I interpret ‘portal’ and what does it mean to me? For a while I started to re-think why I chose this subject in the first place. If I chose something else, where would my paintings be? Even my close friends told me that my new pieces were uncharacteristic of me. I started to continuously dwell on these factors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051845324-N88NOPDZDY236CU0IZZ9/Church.jpg Portals - Church Acrylic on Canvas 30” x 40” “Church” started off as an image I took at a concert where I saw so many different layers of lights and lasers and when the main light was shining on stage, you could see the fog more prominently. I was in awe in how simple this is but that light shining with the fog made me think of clouds, or mountain ranges. The sounds of one of my favorite bands, Tame Impala was echoing in my head as I looked at the rolling clouds inside this light beam. I wanted to replicate that feeling into my painting, clouds or fog throughout but it’s only really be seen in the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596052861325-VU2EQKK8PSYIFNE7EQLS/Pills.jpg Portals - The Decision “The Decision” Acrylic on Canvas 60” x 60” each I made the decision to make these two pieces after trying to rattle my brain on how to conclude my thesis. I as really starting to question myself on why I even went down this road to begin with. I wanted to highlight that a portal could be a decision, leading you into a new reality, or maybe it was a door that you go into that takes you elsewhere. I started thinking about birth, and death, and that mysterious ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. What was it that you really see when you die? Is it really a light? Should you go through it, or not? Was this tunnel leading to an end, or a new beginning? I started to contemplate all these things and what it could mean. Part of me didn’t want to see it so negatively, what if the light at the end of the tunnel is what you see right before you’re reborn again? What if you had the decision to go towards a light? What’s in that void before going in? I decided I wanted to take on this modern idea often seen in pop culture of this ‘blue pill, red pill’ decision. These two paintings could only live together and next to each other. I want the viewer to stand in between them and contemplate the importance of decision-making and creating a new reality. The blue light will be pointing towards the upper left hand side of the canvas, while the red light will be towards the upper right hand side of the canvas, both surrounded by the black-ness of the void. You/They have reached a crossroad in life. Which one will you take? Which one are you more inclined to walk towards? This encapsulates my whole thinking throughout the semester…what a portal actually is, or perhaps a sort of portal. It could be as simple as coming to a crossroads and making a decision that may (or may not be) crucial to how the rest of your path is paved. This is something I consistently ponder on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051877581-MKU2O596CM7X2KLMX6FI/Blue+Pill.jpg Portals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1596051887619-VJ201CFNEXOPAUYQASWC/Red+Pill.jpg Portals https://ethelrodriguez.com/blog-avenue daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://ethelrodriguez.com/blog-avenue/2016/3/1/dubai-fnn6l monthly 0.5 2016-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456863401711-L4GULCMN1HZJY6XAFAQY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Dubai https://ethelrodriguez.com/blog-avenue/2016/3/1/budapest-az9nc monthly 0.5 2016-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456863715325-IZSY1YJXJS57RY8JXID7/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Budapest https://ethelrodriguez.com/blog-avenue/2016/3/1/paris-h64a6 monthly 0.5 2016-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456863897354-3K5CGNSC641EWCMIBK83/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Paris https://ethelrodriguez.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1593656957817-FSJZLX9JV0DWPECDHSQT/IMG_2115.jpg About Me https://ethelrodriguez.com/contactme daily 0.75 2022-07-14 https://ethelrodriguez.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2022-07-14 https://ethelrodriguez.com/paint-n-chill daily 0.75 2024-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1719860036834-NKK7177TA8M2I94ZEGIM/IMG_0610.jpeg Paint 'N' Chill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1719860036769-6Z1RPGORPPSHPC601LEG/IMG_2712.jpeg Paint 'N' Chill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1719860046569-BT2GVNYCGYC4SQZBSC3S/IMG_0885.jpeg Paint 'N' Chill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1719860097531-7Q2YEU3Y9HNTH0ED6I19/IMG_8977.jpg Paint 'N' Chill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/1719860097441-J3X18YSQPCSSQ99RVHQW/IMG_8906.jpg Paint 'N' Chill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588957732e69cf7ecdef7062/bc1b5084-f8cf-474e-98df-44f72c10cbf8/Untitled-Artwork.png Paint 'N' Chill - Paint ‘n’ Chill Paint party for all ages and abilities with a professional artist that comes to YOU!
