George Rodez

George Rodez was born in Manhattan, New York on March 20, 1957.  Soon after, because of a family illness, he was sent to live with his grandparents in Havana, Cuba.  In 1960 he was reunited with his parents, and even though he enjoys traveling and exhibiting around the world, he now calls Miami, Florida, his home. 

Although he began his career as a mechanical engineer, art has been his passion since the age of thirteen.  He now dedicates himself solely to painting and since 1992 has displayed much of his work throughout various museums and galleries nationally and internationally.  In 2005, the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs awarded Rodez an Artist Enhancement grant to promote his art internationally.  As a result, Rodez has exhibited in: Florence, Italy; Amsterdam, Netherlands; and in Spain six times, while participating in international exhibitions throughout the United States. 

Rodez is a self-taught artist whose strength is his diversity, allowing himself the freedom to create multiple bodies of work, each vastly different from the other. In his experiences with his mother's mental illness, including multiple personalities, Rodez observed that each personality had a different strength and function, each serving a unique purpose. Rodez has taken that lesson and incorporated it into his art, with each body of work providing him different experiences and allowing all his personalities to show through. Rodez believes that an artist should explore all of the infinite possibilities and use their artistic creativity to the maximum potential, never giving in to stagnation. He believes that as human beings, we are all very complex in our own unique way and we should share with others our many characters and emotions. He states that to live life is to feel all of these emotions and we should use them as tools to help us live a fuller, richer and more complete life. Rodez lives through his paintings in this very same fashion.
