Natalia Nicole Rodríguez, is a Puerto Rican artist whose practice bridges graphic design and contemporary abstraction. Working across painting, muralism, and site responsive projects, her work examines flora as a vessel for memory, transformation, and emotional resilience.

Rooted in early experiences growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, particularly the lush garden cultivated by her grandmother Rodríguez’s visual language draws from botanical forms, fragments, and rhythms encountered in daily life and travel. Her process begins with observation and documentation, which she translates into layered compositions marked by gestural movement, saturated color, and texture. Through abstraction, nature becomes both subject and archive: a way of preserving lived experience while allowing it to evolve.

Natalia’s practice moves fluidly between studio based works and large scale public interventions. Alongside her painting practice, she has developed an extensive body of murals initiated through self-directed experiments in abandoned structures in Puerto Rico and later expanded internationally. She has completed large-scale works in Spain, Italy, and the United States, approaching muralism as a transformative act capable of reshaping spatial and communal experiences.

Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Puerto Rico, New York, Toronto, and Europe, and she has collaborated with institutions and brands including Hilton Hotels, San Juan Marriott Resort, Wyndham Grand, Serafina Hotels, and others. These projects embody a visual language that adapts seamlessly across various contexts while remaining grounded in abstraction and organic form.

Currently living and working between Puerto Rico and Europe, Natalia continues to develop new bodies of work that extend her exploration of flora as memory, movement, and persistence. Whether on canvas, architectural surfaces, or urban landscapes, her work reflects an ongoing inquiry into nature’s capacity to endure, adapt, and resonate across place.
