Karol Rodriguez, a native to Weslaco, Texas - is a painter and multimedia artist. Karol's heart has always been divided - being born in the United States but raised in Mexico. Karol's first steps were not on American soil but on Mexican land. He considers this duality an integral part of his heritage.
As karol adapted to life in the United States, he developed a special warmth for The Rio Grande Valley and vividly recalls always having a passion for painting. His early canvases were his mother's dress and the house walls. Now, he sells his art - small, hand-painted original pieces to patrons of the Weslaco Eatery and around The Rio Grande Valley.
Currently he attends The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and continues to nurture his artistic dreams and is actively working on bringing a Weslaco artist showcase to life, aiming to showcase the rich artistic talent of the 956 and awaken its creative spirit.
Karol believes The Rio Grande Valley has an untold story, a creative storm brewing within it and is committed to putting the area on the map alongside his fellow creatives.
Karol remarks: "This place has stories to share, a rich creative heritage, and I'm here to bring it all to life".
