Born December 27, 1989, in Ponce, but originally from Salinas, Puerto Rico, Melvin Rodriguez Rodriguez is a famous painter better known for the resurgence of religious painting in Puerto Rico. Also, one of his paintings belongs to Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera.

[edit] Religious Paintings

Rodríguez started painting religious subjects after becoming secure in his knowledge in art. His favorite subject is the Virgin Mary. He has painted her in many ways and mediums, often depicting her miracles and apparitions. He says that he will continue painting religious subjects. This could be the resurgence of the religious art movement.

[edit] A painting fit for a queen

Rodríguez is also known by "The Painter of Universal Beauty". This is because Rodríguez painted an oil portrait for Zuleyka Rivera, Miss Universe 2006. Previously he knew Rivera because the two are from the town Salinas, Puerto Rico.
The painting named "The New Star of the Universe" depicts Rivera's moment of triumph. The background also had fifty-five stars resembling all past Miss Universes. Five of these stars glow more because they represent the five Puerto Rican beauties. Rodríguez gave the painting to Rivera as a gift on her homecoming to Parcelas Vázquez, Salinas, Puerto Rico. Rivera reacted emotionally hugging the painter when she saw the painting. This portrait is now in Trump Tower, New York City.
