Contemporary conceptually designed multimedia artworks by Houston based artist Rodrigo Aguilera are in an intense dialogue with art theory and philosophy as well as with the broader social reality.

Science and Art, both have the Kantian aesthetic interest when referring to the beauty of complexity in nature and to its creative and self-reflexive aspects. The notion of sublime in general pertains to that in nature which transgresses the capabilities of imagination and the life of an individual being. Rodrigo Aguilera is one of those artists who by ‘tricking’ the mind comes to break down its formatting, that is, avoids activating pre-formatted patterns and pre-formatted perceptions. Melting two art concepts: abstract and figurative… Aguilera paints a piece and then re-creates it using all of its original parts. Following the principal of nature that parts form a whole, with this rearrangement process he confirms that everything in creation has a place and a purpose.
