Of Andalusian origin, Pablo Rodríguez moved to Barcelona during his childhood. In 1966 he became interested in painting and began to frequent Sant LLuch. A year later he began his studies at the Massana School in Barcelona, and in 1969 he began his artistic training at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge. Two years before finishing his studies, in 1974, he held his first individual exhibition, thus initiating a long exhibition career, participating in more than 150 individual and collective exhibitions in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Iceland, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Canada, Cuba, United States, Japan, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, China. He has also participated in International Art Fairs such as ART-BASEL in Switzerland, ARCO in Madrid, ART-EXPO Montreal Canada, BUCHMESSE-ART Frankfurt, INTERARTE Valencia, ART-GRÀFIC Barcelona, ART-MULTIPLE Dusseldorf, ESTAMPA Madrid. Throughout his career he has combined his work as a painter with teaching, being a professor at the School of Textile Design in Barcelona from 1977 to 1981, coinciding with artists and theorists such as Rafael Argullol, Rafols Casamada or Ramon Folch. Finally he left his work as a teacher to dedicate himself completely to painting, and at the end of the 90's he began a series of trips that allowed him to experiment with materials. In the year 2000 he joined the artistic movement "Esasperatismo", and began to work with photography.
