Tino Rodriguez was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was influenced by the art he encountered in Catholic churches. Rodriguez's paintings offer an eclectic ensemble of hybrid creatures, human forms, and fantastic backgrounds that play with reality and an erotic, at times violent, dream world. Rodriguez studied at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1990 and received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and an MFA from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. His work has been exhibited at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and Jan Baum Gallery in Los Angeles. In the spring of 2003 his solo exhibition "The Darkening Garden/El Jardin al Anochecer" was presented at the San Jose Museum of Art. Rodriguez also created the costumes, masks, and set design for the video
“Epilepsy is dancing” by the experimental music group Antony and the Johnsons. His paintings have also appeared in the Netflix series “Sense8.”
