Genesis Rodriguez joins The Truth in This Art for her first public deep-dive into her work and process.

A Philadelphia-area Latina mixed media artist known for blending bold color with striking realism, Genesis explores themes of femininity, natural beauty, and identity while bringing a thoughtful “emotional IQ” to both her visual art and emerging music practice.

In this episode, Genesis discusses her current “building era” of laying a strong creative foundation, what it means to engage with art beyond surface-level reposting, and how honesty and integrity shape the work. She also reflects on sharing her story for the first time, navigating visibility as an emerging artist, and the value of choosing depth over aesthetics.

This conversation explores the connection between art and community, focusing on authenticity, meaningful engagement, and the discipline it takes to build a sustainable creative practice.

Topics Covered:

  • Genesis’s first public conversation about her work and process
  • Blending bold color and realism to explore femininity, natural beauty, and identity
  • The “building era”: structure, foundation, and sustaining a practice
  • Engaging with art beyond the surface—thinking and sharing with intention
  • Balancing visual art with an emerging music practice and creative growth
