Josué Rodríguez, originally from the Pedro Carbo canton, finds inspiration in his upbringing and surroundings, expressing his artistic journey through drawing, his preferred medium for capturing his unique perspective on everyday life. He employs an intuitive and sensory approach, meticulously filling notebooks in an iterative process he calls “Metodología del garbeo” (wandering), which is fundamental to his artistic exploration.
