Daniel Rios Rodriguez received his M.F.A. in Painting from Yale in 2007 and his B.F.A. from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2005. He has sought to use his canvas as a space to chart and evolve the personal history of 21st-century Mexican American experience in relation to place. Rodriguez has had solo exhibitions at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York; Cooper Cole, Toronto; Kerlin Gallery, Dublin; Feuilleton, Los Angeles; Western Exhibitions, Chicago; Artpace, San Antonio; Lulu, Mexico City; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio (2015); and White Columns, New York (2011), among others. Group exhibitions include Various Small Fires, Dallas; X Museum, Beijing; Camden Arts Centre, London; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Chinati Foundation, Marfa, TX; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Galeria Fortes D'aloia & Gabriel, São Paulo; Michael Benevento, Los Angeles; Hannah Hoffman, Los Angeles; and Roberts & Tilton Gallery, Los Angeles, among numerous others.

Rodriguez was a 2018 Artist in Residence at the Chinati Foundation, a printmaking resident at the Wingate Studio in New Hampshire (2017), and a 2013 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award recipient. Over the past 15 years, he has supported diverse student populations, from painting at the college level, working with Veterans and first-generation college students as faculty at a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), and as a graduate-level Guest Critic at UTSA. His work was featured in the exhibition Right Here, Right Now: San Antonio at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in 2018 and is included in the public collection of the San Antonio Museum of Art.
