Focused Details / afro-Caribbean

The Focused Details Collection emerges from Rodez’s celebrated Afro-Caribbean Series. Each piece isolates a symbolic element — a gesture, figure, or motif — once part of a larger canvas but now reimagined as an independent artwork.

Faithful to the Afro-Caribbean style, these works feature folkloric themes expressed through bold color, rhythmic contours, and the artist’s signature double-blue backgrounds, with visual qualities that have led viewers to note affinities with Caribbean art glass (stained-glass) and the intricate geometry of molas created by Panama’s Guna people.

By magnifying a single image, Rodez reveals the richness of cultural memory and rhythm embedded in his larger compositions. Each fragment stands alone as a story, allowing viewers to experience the Afro-Caribbean Series with new intimacy and focus.
