Rodrigo Téllez's work delves into these questions by posing the perennial question of identity. The various portraits he creates do not seek to represent a specific person, but rather constitute a reflection of his emotions, his moods, his inner world. It is his way of looking into the mirror that is the other and seeing himself.

Moments, sensations, and moods are concentrated in these false portraits that eschew reference to anyone specific to consider what we see of ourselves in another's face.

Téllez has a background as a designer and illustrator. These are professions constrained by external requirements and limitations. It is in his artistic practice that he finds a personal and intimate space, where he explores his inner self to bring forth what must emerge and quell the fire that embraces him.
