DRAWINGS

Among true artists (those that have for centuries created art) using only their hands, eyes, heart, mind, guts and soul, DRAWING always stands as a crucial gauge for determining artistic merit. Generally, among artists, drawing is the greatest means of revealing artistic prowess, competence, and intelligence. For Rodeiro, crisp contour lines are what distinguish drawing from sketching. Lastly, drawing is what binds visual art to poetry and dance.
