Social media sensation Devon Rodriguez showcases his talent through hyperrealist oil paintings, often crafted discreetly within the bustling confines of New York City's subway system. Here, amidst the everyday rush of commuters, he captures intimate portraits of unsuspecting passengers. 

In 2020, Rodriguez took to TikTok, sharing mesmerizing timelapse videos of his creative process. Each video culminated in a delightful twist: revealing his masterpieces to the very individuals he had immortalized on canvas. This innovative approach quickly garnered attention and admiration.

By 2021, Rodriguez made a significant entrance into the art auction scene with "Girl on Subway (2021)", which commanded an impressive $22,680—more than triple its initial estimate, solidifying his rising prominence. Simultaneously, his social media presence skyrocketed, making him the most-followed visual artist on TikTok with over 17 million fans, and boasting over two million followers on Instagram.

While Rodriguez's repertoire extends to self-portraits and larger canvases executed on traditional easels, his signature works remain his poignant depictions of ordinary individuals encountered during their daily commutes.
