Ana Priscila Rodriguez was born in Mexico City in 1974. She went to Europe for love and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Utrecht (HKU) in 2006 with a specialty in Mixed Media and Photography with background studies in History and Graphic Design.

 

Her work is all about a long lost past; lost loves; lost faces. Images and sensations that are asking for a physical space in this present world. They are asking for colour, shape, texture, taste... they are asking for life. Her mission is to provide to these silent stories a voice and a body, allowing them to become a part of her present, visible world, and therefore, providing them from the opportunity to go on in real time, with a new shape and a new purpose. They become eloquent stories and fairytales.

​

​She discovered the magic of old photographs left behind in flea markets, which she started collecting more than a decade ago and they soon became one of the most important sources of inspiration. She creates her own conceptual self portrait photography and she transforms those images using a variety of techniques until they lose their contextual shape.  For her, transformation is the real act of creating art. To be able to transform her reality into a magical realm where real life collides with dreams and nightmares, is what her work is all about. 

​

In 2022 she was awarded at the European Photography Awards 2022 with  GOLD in the professional category of Fine Art Photography - photomanipulation for her work Oblivion from the series The Anatomy of Love. 

​

In 2022 she was also commended for her series ​The Anatomy of Love by the prestigious Siena Creative Photo Awards.

​

In 2022 she was nominated by the 8th Fine Photography Awards for her series Limbo and Averno.

​

In 2022 she received a honorary mention for her work 'The Weight' from her series Burdens in the Dreams and Imaginings contest from Middlebury, Vermont. ​
