From an early age, a special interest in transforming cardboard, wood, and various materials into figures awakened in him his two great passions: sculpture and architecture — always grounded in a deep analysis of form and its potential across different applications. After finishing high school he lived for six months in Grenoble, France, where he studied French art and culture.​

​

​He studied Architecture at the Universidad Iberoamericana, graduating with the thesis "Ampliación-Anexo Museo Franz Mayer," for which he also completed his social service. Upon graduating he joined the Museo de San Carlos as head of museography, where over three years he designed more than 15 temporary exhibitions — some of great significance, featuring artists such as Francisco de Goya and Aristide Maillol, among others. He also renovated the museum's permanent galleries, and received a grant from the museum to attend a Museology course in Brno, Czech Republic, organized by UNESCO.

​

​He studied sculpture and culture in Italy over two summers — the first in Gargnano del Garda, organized by the Politecnico di Milano, and the second in Montecastello di Vibio, Perugia, organized by the New York School of Art.

Rodrigo subsequently joined a family architecture firm, where over several years he designed sculptures, sculptural lattices, and figures integrated into his own architectural designs — which at times aspire to be inhabitable sculptures, as was the case with his competition entry for the design of the Mexico Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.

​

In 2011 Rodrigo established his own sculpture studio, and since then has worked continuously on commissions for private collections. From 2011 onwards he has also presented his work in solo exhibitions at various galleries and museums throughout Mexico.
