TRANSFORMATIVE HEART by RODRIGO TRUJILLO

About the Artist:

Rodrigo Trujillo is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in San Francisco whose work seamlessly blends wearable art, sculpture, and cultural storytelling. His artistic journey is rooted in a deep exploration of identity, heritage, and self-expression, creating pieces that invite curiosity and interaction.

Born and raised in Bolivia, Rodrigo draws inspiration from the country’s vivid colors, intricate patterns, and rich folklore, which are intricately woven into his collections. His work honors his heritage while embracing new influences, including LGBTQ themes, cultural intersections, and explorations of engineering and social dynamics. As his practice evolves, Rodrigo continues to push boundaries, experimenting with materials to redefine wearable art and functional objects. Each piece reflects a fusion of past and present, resulting in versatile, wearable sculptures and objects that challenge the intersection of art, function, and identity.

For Rodrigo, art is an evolving journey toward living a life that is both expressive and authentic. His creations are designed to be interacted with, worn, displayed, and reimagined, encouraging viewers to connect with their own stories. Through his work, Rodrigo hopes to inspire others to embrace their heritage, explore transformation, and pursue authenticity in their lives.
