"Pio Roda" aka "Pios Rodaman" - Biographical Note

pio roda aka pios rodaman biographical note

Pios Rodaman was born “Pio-Carlos Carrijo Roda” in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) on 12 January 1953. Rodaman began to study art while he was still in
elementary school. In those early years, he took drawing lessons at the Instituto Abel in Niteroi, followed by the study of artistic drawing with Ana Canella and
contemporary painting and art history at the Universidade Santa Ursula. A great deal of his training comes from his studies with Antonio Machado, with whom
he learned color theory, the importance of lines, and “free painting.” It is no surprise that with this extensive formal training and his own natural artistic talent
Rodaman has become an internationally admired artist.
While Rodaman has been exhibiting his art since 1990, it was when he moved to Miami, Florida in 1999 that he began to earn renown as an artist. As a mark
of this change in his life and his work, he began signing his work as “Pius Rodamano” (before 1999, his paintings were signed “Pio Roda”) and he began
utilizing the Encaustic technique. These creations were made of used motor oil, pigment, and wax, displaying the visceral passion Rodaman has for art. His
work was soon being used almost exclusively by an influential interior designer, Bill Chadwick, further inspiring the painter to create unique, expressive
pieces. When Chadwick passed away at the end of 2003, Rodaman was devastated. As a result, he did not paint for all of 2004.
In 2005 Rodaman picked up the paintbrush again, now signing his paintings “Pios Rodaman” (the suffix of this surname is in homage to his American mother,
Ruth Erman). His latest work showcases his talents using acrylic paints, and the paintings are still as lively and expressive as anything he has done before.
During this period, Rodaman was selected as a Signature Member of the Boca Raton Museum of Art -Artists'Guild (Boca Raton, Florida) and he currently
shows his works in the Artists' Guild Gallery located on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, FL. He is also represented in New York City by Agora Gallery. Since
1990, Rodaman has had numerous exhibitions in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Miami, Boca Raton, New York, and elsewhere and his work continues to
mesmerize and impress art enthusiasts and collectors.
