Ariosto Rivera is a Mexican artistic firm created by Jesús Rivera and Joaquín Ariosto. This duo is rooted in the reinterpretation of the ancestral technique of popotillo art, which consists of fine plant fibers dyed with natural dyes, to create true mosaics of figurative expression, woven with contrasting colors, materials, meanings, and textures. By using vibrant colors, unusual textures, and soft yet bright tones of symbolism, the artists create surreal figures, majestic animals, skulls, catrinas from the Day of the Dead, and beings drawn from the depths of their dreams.
