About

Valeria R.O.

Vaso o urna antigua con asas decorativas y relicarios colgantes.

Valeria Rodríguez is a multidisciplinary artist from the Peruvian Amazon, currently based in Barcelona. Working across ceramics, drawing and painting, her practice investigates how memory takes shape through matter.

Her work is rooted in the observation of recurring patterns across living systems—from rivers and roots to the human body and Amazonian cosmologies. Through her practice she develops a visual language that explores the hidden structures connecting matter, territory and perception.
