Thank you for sharing your fascinating article Rachel! The colour palette of Rodríguez's intricate depictions of the Amazon reminded me a little of Frida Kahlo's paintings, 'Faces of Frida' an online exhibition by Google Arts and Culture can be viewed here- https://artsandculture.google.com/project/frida-kahlo

An online exhibition I really enjoyed was Abel Rodríguez’s one at the BALTIC! I wrote an article about it as I liked it so much, you can read it here if you’re interested: https://anintroductiontotealeaves.blogspot.com/2020/04/imran-perretta-abel-rodriguez-at-baltic.html
