The painter Rocio Caballero was born in Mexico City on June 1 (I missed her in June,,,) 1964. She began painting as a young woman and studied at La Esmeralda. She became a figurative painter even though most of her classmates at the time were interested in abstract art. The mask has become a symbol in Caballero's work for the condition of man. She prefers to be considered an artist only, instead of a artist". In Caballero's own words, "I like to see everyone and all art as individuals".
She has exhibited all over the US and Mexico. Caballero tends to work in series and her most well known is the "Gray Code" which was developed over a period of 10 years. Inspired by the ideal "yuppie" that she had no experience with but wanted to explore, the 30 part series explores the social and psychological constructs of business and politics. I am including El Hombre y su Traje today...
