About The Artwork
I use blank photographic paper and color inks that I apply with water in a process similar to watercolors. The difference is in the paper that is waterproof and register the movement of the water faster than any other kind of paper. The movement of the water makes the inks travel on the paper, leaving a physical mark with the same fluidity of nature. The result is an image that cannot be recreated by the human hand. My use of unconventional materials and chemicals makes this process very complicated to explain and almost always I have to relay on the viewer watching some of my videos that you can find searching Jose Tonito. I like to use different papers, different inks and I experiment with chemicals, objects, soap bubbles, plant leaves and anything that I think will register a shape or flow that will create a narrative. I think of myself as an art alchemist.

United States
Born in Havana, Cuba in 1961, José Tonito Rodriguez came to the United States in 1978 and currently lives in Florida. His early career as a photographer significantly shaped his current work. Using photographic paper, color inks, and an array of unconventional techniques, his images have a uniquely organic, exploratory feel. What he calls “accidents” splatter and sprawl across paper, revealing themselves to him as he follows and urges them forward into other-worldly forms. Influenced by the forces of nature, he imagines the creation of rivers and lakes as he works, sometimes visualizing how clouds or even micro-organisms might behave under a microscope. The artist’s experiments tease the viewer into discovering “hidden, magical worlds” within our own imaginations.
