Diego de la Rosa is a Venezuelan painter whose work explores the cultural impact of the social crisis in his native country, and relies on symbolism to explore the ideas and sentiments born from this reality. His process involves the collection of found imagery of people and places from Venezuela that are then rearranged into classically painted narratives full of fantastical elements. His latest collection, The Game of Animals, explores how the failure of Venezuelan politics has driven its citizens to rely on mysticism and fortune as tools for hope and meaning in the midst of the ongoing crisis.
