Rivera is a Melbourne-based artist who was born in South America, Chile.
In her first year of university, she was introduced to Australian artist Mr. Dudley Drew who became her mentor over many years.

Rivera is a romantic painter whose oil and pastel works vary in subject matter yet are cohesive in their poetic energy.

“Oils allow me to push and pull the paint to its limits, and the multi-layering aspect of the creative process that leads the painting to take the form intended, is intensely satisfying.
The flexibility of oils provides endless possibilities for exploration within the one painting. Pastel medium is less forgiving but beautiful just the same.”

Rivera’s artworks are intuitive phrases formed by colours, strong contrast and elements within her compositions.
Whether it be a frenetic or mellow still life; serene or expressive seascape; a gestural depiction of human relationships or simply a portrait, the actual is always romanticised via the exploration of all that is technical and by her individual interpretation of the subject matter.
