Antonio rojas lives in Madrid, although his native land is very present in most of his works. This warm memory is united with an aesthetic of character, colder and more rigorous based on geometry, lines and planes. The coexistence of these two factors relates his work to the new "metaphysical painting". Among the devotions of Antonio Rojas are key names in painting such as Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Chema Cobo and Carlos Alcolea, artists who initially influenced him with their different attitudes. Also artists as essential as Giotto, Piero della Francesca or Fra Angelico as well as Cezànne and De Chirico. In the artist's own words, "I am interested in geometry insofar as it is useful to me for structuring and organising. ...For me the contours of empty, monochromatic surfaces are important, only altered by the stamping of a systematic sea... As for the composition of the images "I am not interested in the use of any particular rule to distribute and provide spaces..., intuition is for me the best formula". Attentive to the creation of empty spaces, places in shadow, "the nearby walls, furniture, windows... All these smooth surfaces, velvety with the reflection of the colours of distant objects, always full of air, shadow and light, are important to me".
He had his first individual exhibition with Magda Bellotti in Algeciras (1983 and 1986), a gallery to which he was a regular during the subsequent development of his entire career. In Madrid he began to exhibit in the Fernando Vijandre gallery in 1987, in Manolo Montenegro's gallery (1988), with Antonio Machón (in 1990 until 2000) and with My name's Lolita Art (Valencia, 1996, and Madrid, 2002). In 1994 he was selected for the exhibition "Muelle de Levante". In 1991 he took part in the collective exhibition "El Retorno del Hijo Prodigo" at the Buades Gallery in Madrid and was awarded the Endesa Scholarship. He also obtained residencies at the Delfina Studios in London and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome between 1993-94 and in 2004 he won first prize at the VI Biennial of Painting "City of Estella Lizarra".
