Jaqueline Rudolph

My work is my passion, voice, and dialogue with self. When I paint and sculpt, it fills me with a sense of contentment and integrity that has proven to serve as a vessel for translating the anatomy of spirit to an empowering awareness. I draw inspiration from the strength and resilience of the human form and the landscape of the face. I work in a variety of mediums, which include bronze sculpture and mixed media paintings. I use the face and human form as subject matter to convey a provocative experience of self-discovery. From my earlier to current bodies of work, the theme of empowered spirit remains consistent and all embody a majestic beauty that emanates from vulnerability, courage, and a strength of grace. I create from the inside out. Though I work deliberately and consciously using traditional, as well as innovative techniques and methods, my subconscious is ultimately my guide.

I am an emerging activist artist who creates contemporary modern impressionist portraits, figurative sculpture, and activist apparel art wear. My experience as a native New Mexican, my travels, along with interests in cultural anthropology, performing arts, visual arts, and design, have influenced my work and vision. Politically and socially, the universal fight for our values and rights has played an important role in my evolution as an artivist. My artistic expression aims to move people emotionally, appeal to their imagination, and stimulate important dialogue about social and political issues.
