Celebrated as one of the world’s top 25 modern calligraphers, is a visionary artist whose work transcends the boundaries of typography and calligraphy. Known for his ability to inspire and uplift through the power of words, Rojas crafts narratives that connect deeply with audiences. His art appeals to a wide range of viewers, blending minimalism, emotional resonance, and bold expression. With exhibitions in renowned spaces like Showfields in New York City and the Moore Building in Miami, Rojas has also been a featured artist at the Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial, where he has been invited back multiple times, including in 2016, 2018, and 2024. One of his most powerful works, Forever Free, juxtaposes the words “Forever” and “Free” to address the tragedy and hope surrounding modern-day slavery. Inspired by a personal encounter in Hong Kong with Maria, a Colombian woman forced into sex slavery, the artwork serves as a tribute to her and the 49.6 million people trapped in slavery today. The piece, represents a poignant blend of art and activism, embodying both resilience and a call to action. Through this work, Rojas transforms deeply personal experiences into universal messages, creating art that speaks to the human condition and the enduring hope for freedom.
