Rodrigo Alonso Cuesta (Burgos, 1982). Based in Spain.

This BA in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca and Communication in Audiovisual from the University of Burgos has had a distinguished academic training, complemented by experiences abroad thanks to Erasmus scholarships he carried out in Portugal and Belgium.

His artistic activity focuses mainly on oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, digital art, and paper, where he creates paintings, drawings and collages. His style is characterized by a rich, vivid, and expressive color palette, as well as a plastic compositional style, with dynamic and unusual perspectives, influenced by his passion for analog photography.
