About the Item
Karina Rodríguez's "Diversity," rendered in oil on panel, measures 12 x 12 x 75 inches, with a framed dimension of 13.25 x 13.25 inches, ready to hang. This strikingly realistic still-life painting depicts a tightly wound ball composed of vibrant, multicolored rubber bands set against a pristine white background. Rodríguez meticulously captures the elasticity, tension, and textural complexity of the intertwined rubber bands, each vividly distinct yet harmoniously unified. The bold, bright bands of blue, yellow, orange, purple, and pink interplay dynamically, symbolizing themes of unity within diversity, interconnectedness, and collective strength. A crisp shadow grounds the object, enhancing the three-dimensional illusion and showcasing Rodríguez's technical mastery and keen observational skills. This artwork invites contemplation on the beauty inherent in everyday objects, prompting reflections on individual uniqueness and collective harmony. Ideal for contemporary interiors, the vivid color palette and immaculate attention to detail make this painting both a thoughtful statement piece and an aesthetically captivating focal point.

Dominican artist Karina Rodríguez specializes in hyperrealistic oil paintings that elevate commonplace objects to subjects of contemplation and wonder. Born in 1988 in La Romana, she has dedicated fifteen years to developing a painting practice centered on technical precision and emotional resonance. Her works begin as photographic compositions, which she then recreates in oil paint with extraordinary attention to surface textures, lighting effects, and spatial relationships. The resulting paintings often appear photographic in their clarity, yet possess the subtle handmade qualities that distinguish fine painting from mechanical reproduction. Rodríguez particularly gravitates toward objects with personal and cultural significance, creating still life arrangements that invite viewers to reconsider the aesthetic potential of their immediate environment. She received formal training at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santo Domingo and holds a degree in Art History and Criticism from Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. Her paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States. She is represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery.

"Strawberry Sundae"
2018
Oil on Wood Panel
39.75 x 34.25 Inches
Note: This painting is framed in dark wood.
The artist has also completed many commissioned food paintings including the Canadian Government's request for images of 5 of Canada's favorite foods which subsequently became stamp images - and The Cheesecake Factory's two commissions for their corporate headquarters and the owners' Malibu beach house.
A quote from the artist:
“I make the panels large to give a monumental feeling to the painting when viewed. These large images not only confront the viewer with their size but with their tremendous sense of extravagance. My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity.”
Mary Ellen Johnson
Johnson further describes herself as a ‘Precision Realist’ whose primary subject is food. Sold works include paintings of PB & J sandwiches, pancakes with blueberries and syrup, banana splits, ice cream, hot dogs, cupcakes, waffles, muscles and sushi, among others. Unequaled for their brilliance and dramatic depictions of mundane subjects with their connotations of nostalgia, comfort and tradition, it is also her scale, cropping and over the top technical skill that renders these works so overwhelmingly appealing!
