Cynthia Rojas creates her paintings with an insistent, intuitive line and colorful, eccentric shapes. Annual trips to Mexico have had a major influence on her palette and vintage textiles, architectural motifs and aerial landscape views influence her choice of forms. Rojas synthesizes all this into a unique visual language that produces ambiguous spaces that are abstract but also seem to be based in a dream reality that only Rojas can access.
Rojas received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She has exhibited in galleries around the country as well as in Japan, Spain, and Thailand. She lives and works in New York.
