Remy Daza Rojas, 1955 | Figurative painter

Remy Daza Rojas is a Bolivian painter, born in Cochabamba, Bolivia. From 1978-1981 he studied at the Ernesto de la Cárcova School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina and practiced painting from a young age, along with Gíldaro Antezana, Ricardo Pérez Alcalá, and Vladimir Rojas.

His paintings are made with a skillful technical handling, in realism in which the human figure becomes the protagonist.

The color and, above all, the light are worked very skillfully creating expressive forms, full of harmonious sensuality and that tend to touch certain symbolism or incorporate surreal elements.

Graciela Rodo Boulanger, 1935

Her love of art was influenced by her mother, a concert pianist, and her father, a businessman and art connoisseur. She studied music and art throughout childhood, giving her first piano recital at age 15, and her first art exhibitions in Vienna and Salzburg at age 18. Pursuing her dream to be both a great artist and musician, Rodo soon found that time would not permit the necessary devotion to both her passions. At 22, she turned all of her energy to painting. She studied etching and printmaking along with René Carcan under Johnny Friedlaender in Paris.
