Ricardo Rodriguez

Ricardo Rodríguez Cosme (b. 1992, Valencia, Spain) is a contemporary artist whose work fuses classical technique with the raw intensity of modern motorsport. Trained at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples, Rodríguez captures the pulse of Formula 1 through hyper-realistic portraits and emotionally charged compositions that explore the human experience behind speed, control, and chaos. His black-and-white oil paintings, known for their precision and depth, mirror the dualities of racing—power and vulnerability, risk and mastery. In his celebrated F1 Series, Rodríguez immortalizes the legends of the track, translating the velocity of the sport into timeless fine art. Exhibited internationally from London and New York to Miami and Stockholm, his work bridges the worlds of art and performance, offering viewers a visceral reflection on the pursuit of perfection and the beauty found at the edge of control.
