Working in out-of-the-way locations, or in his studios on the island of Catalina, California and Key West, Florida. Ernesto Rodriguez documents and reinvents the world whose charms are all too quickly disappearing.

In the ordinary, everyday aspects pf life, Ernesto Rodriguez find poetry.
For more that 15 years, Rodriguez has traveled the globe, seeking the out-of-the-way places that inhabit our dreams. His images capture the romance of Venice and Amsterdam, Havana and Paris.

The grandson of the renowned Cuban muralist Eraso Valor Rodriguez, Ernesto learned early how an artist expresses his vision with brush and pigment, passion and joy.
He was a child when the family left Cuba. More that 30 years would past before he returned.
"I went back to find what had influnced me" he says. "The experiences that shape your formative years color the way you perceive the world, even after you've forgotten them.
In Cuba, Ernesto found the romance, the sensual colors, that give his work an Old World charme.
"We Americans live in a fast-paced culture that leaves little time for natural rhythems. We don't stop to notice, much less appreciate, the dance of sunlight and shadow on leaves...lace curtains stirring in a kitchen window...the music that flows in the conversation of lovers...the easy laughter of friends. Cuba is attuned to those rhyhms, that romance." he says. "The sensuality they celebrate belongs to each of us. It is the poetry of everyday life."

"I like to see things as they should be, not as they are. My art is in capturing places where people wish they could be, and tranforming them into scenes that welcome the viewer. Mine are places that people dream of seeing, almost as though they were memories."

What Ernesto captures, Harvest Fine-Art Publishing produces as enduring images for a whide variety of markets. Working with the artist's originals, Harvest offers limited giclee editionson papaer and canvas, open lithogrphy editions, decor screens and licensing for collectibles and gift items.
At Harvest, Ernesto has found the perfect marriage of sensitivty, technology and attention to detail that faithfully conveys the integrity of his work.
