Discover Dany Rodriguez’s contemporary abstract painting: a unique signature

Who is Dany Rodriguez?

Dany Charlotte Rodriguez, a French contemporary artist, resides in Saumur, in the Loire Valley.

From figuration to abstraction

After eleven years dedicated to drawing and figurative painting (still lifes, landscapes, portraits created with charcoal, pastel, and acrylic), Dany Rodriguez freed herself from strict traditional codes to explore lyrical abstraction.

This choice was driven by a desire for greater creative freedom.

“I can express myself freely, and the viewer of my paintings can interpret my work as they feel and imagine whatever they wish. Everyone can find their own meaning when observing one of my paintings and let their imagination run wild (their feelings and emotions). Abstraction is an art form that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of figurative art,” she explains.

She followed a similar path in her musical journey. For many years, she studied classical piano, a very demanding discipline. Recently, she turned to jazz piano, which offers her great freedom of interpretation and opens the doors to improvisation.

What techniques does Dany Rodriguez use ?

A self-proclaimed “studio painter,” Dany Rodriguez never paints outdoors. Inspiration comes to her in the silence of her studio.

She particularly likes the quote by Pablo Picasso: “I do not paint what I see, but what I think.”

She creates her works directly on a blank canvas, without any preparatory work. Only the colors are chosen at the outset, knowing that there will be additions and mixes.

However, the artist is convinced that her painting is not entirely instinctive. She asserts that it is her experience in figurative techniques that allows her to create her abstract paintings, expressing her emotions and creativity without constraints.

Her work is distinguished by various techniques (acrylic painting, spalters of different widths, graffiti art spray cans, etc.) and a vibrant palette.

International recognition

Dany Rodriguez is a member of the National Academy of Contemporary Art, and her works, rated by a European art expert, are featured in the Collector’s Guide, attesting to her influence in contemporary art.

Since 2011, she has participated in nearly 80 exhibitions, both solo and group, from Nice to the Netherlands!

An artist’s anecdote: a shared experience

When Dany Rodriguez was asked to tell an anecdote about her life as an artist, she mentioned a young couple who had bought their first painting: “I was touched recently by a young couple who bought an abstract painting from me and said with a big smile: “Madam, this is our first painting”. It was an important purchase for them. You could see their happiness at having bought one of my works on their faces, and I was really moved. I often think about that.

It’s this connection with the audience that gives meaning to his work!

A sensory journey

The ‘Chomatique Vibrations’ exhibition features a selection of 25 abstract works by Dany Rodriguez, ranging from small formats to large, colourful canvases, in explosions of blue, orange, yellow, red, green, purple, brown… You won’t see any white backgrounds!

Her paintings are called ‘Confidence’, ‘Cascade’, ‘Virevolte’, “Sirocco”, ‘Opus n°5’, names that evoke the artist’s creative energy, which you can’t fail to feel as you wander through the exhibition.

On the large white stone walls of the Rocheville estate, and in the natural light streaming through the picture windows of the exhibition room, Dany Rodriguez’s abstract paintings reveal all their intensity and chromatic richness.

If Dany Rodriguez had to define his artistic universe in three words, it would be: ‘Creativity, Colour, Emotion’.

Rocheville : both a wine estate and an art gallery

For more than 10 years, the Domaine de Rocheville has been hosting a variety of art exhibitions in its beautiful, eco-responsible tasting room, ranging from photography to watercolours, as well as various contemporary painting styles.

Last year, three contemporary painters (Marie Tellig, Marie-Françoise Pinguet, and Elisabeth Laplante), three photographers (Michèle Lepeintre, Luc Lortie, and Philippe Siriot), a willow sculptor (François Chauvin), a street artist (Kévin Bardin), and a watercolorist (Roseline Boivent) exhibited their works in Parnay.

The estate continues to celebrate art in all its forms, combining the pleasure of the palate with that of the eyes.

Take advantage of your visit to Parnay to taste our red, white, and rosé wines in AOP Crémant de Loire, Saumur Blanc, Saumur Rosé, and Saumur Champigny.

All our wines are certified organic and produced from A to Z at the estate, with passion!

Abstract art: a universal language where shapes and colors speak to the soul

Abstract art is an artistic movement that breaks free from the faithful representation of reality to express emotions, ideas, or concepts through shapes, colors, and textures. It does not seek to imitate nature but to create a unique visual and sensory experience where interpretation becomes personal.

The foundations of abstraction

Freedom from figurative codes: unlike realist art, abstraction rejects recognizable subjects (landscapes, portraits) to explore free compositions.

Emotion first: artists use vibrant palettes and spontaneous gestures to convey states of mind, as did Kandinsky or Pollock.

Abstract art is divided into two major trends:

Lyrical abstraction (Kandinsky, Kupka): gestural expressiveness and chromatic fluidity. This is the style Dany Rodriguez identifies with.

Geometric abstraction (Mondrian, Malevich): rigor of lines and pure forms.

Why is abstract art fascinating ?

Freedom of interpretation

Each viewer projects their emotions and history onto the work, as the artist Âme Sauvage points out: “Abstract art does not tell a story; it inspires one.”

Dialogue between matter and spirit

Techniques such as drip painting (paint projection) or scraping create textures that capture the artist’s raw energy.

Universality

Without specific cultural references, abstract art is accessible to all and transcends linguistic and social boundaries.

By exploring Dany Rodriguez’s colorful abstract art paintings, you will discover the richness and depth of abstract art, an experience that promises to leave a lasting impression.
