Rodríguez describes his work as a political message. By creating an illusionistic space infused with flattened surfaces, contrasting loose and tight brush strokes, vibrant colors and zigzagging lines, he expresses his anguish over the impact of colonialism and subsequent dictatorships on the Caribbean.
