His work blends digital design with the tactile quality of hand-drawn illustrations, creating pieces that are both visually bold and deeply personal. Much of his art is shaped by advocacy for mental health, social justice, and human rights. These themes appear throughout his work to spark dialogue, challenge stigma, and encourage empathy. At its core, his creative process is about using visual communication to connect people and inspire change.

Emotional IQ – Genesis Rodriguez is a Latina artist, inspired by her Puerto Rican and Dominican roots. Her hard-working family, primarily led by women, nurtured her artistic passion from a young age.
