Daniela Rodriguez
“Gentlemen”
Daniela Rodriguez 2025 iPhone images, paper Selection of 9, Series of 35 works 24 x 40in
“I’m a big believer in... you have to close the door, lock it, throw away the key... and like, that’s when the good stuff moves in”
-Lana Del Rey
Daniela Rodriguez, born in Miami, FL is a multimedia artist living in NYC. Her interdisciplinary practice integrates art direction, video, photography, graphic design, drawing & painting. The work explores concepts of pop culture and identities molded by Hollywood and the post-internet age. She published her first independent magazine, Superstars Only, in 2021. Attempting to deviate from the echo chamber of the art world, Superstars Only aims to blur the line between insider and outsider perspectives.
This selection is part of an ongoing series that started in January 2025. Taken with an iPhone exiting the subway turnstile at the 23rd station as part of my commute to work. There is a proximity and intimacy with a stranger. Temporarily trapped behind bars and vulnerable, they push the door forward for the both of us, like gentlemen for a lady.
