Ariosto Rivera

Ariosto Rivera

At the heart of Mexican artistic production emerges the Ariosto Rivera signature—a beacon of reinterpretation and evolution of the ancestral popotillo art. Under the guidance of the talented Joaquín Ariosto García and Jesús Pérez Rivera, this millenary art, born from Mexico’s pre-Hispanic cultures, is reborn with renewed strength. Figurative works of meticulous detail are woven with naturally pigmented millet fibers and beeswax, in an intricate process reminiscent of mosaic art, demanding a precise fusion of patience and imagination.

Ariosto Rivera elevates this ancient tradition, transcending its limits with innovative elements and contemporary materials that enrich the diversity of textures and tones in its compositions. Its works, a display of vibrant colors and intense contrasts, radiate with a life of their own. Within them, stunning women are adorned in elaborate dresses that reinterpret elements of Mexico’s rich cultural heritage. At the same time, skulls and catrinas emerge as powerful symbols, paying tribute to the deep cultural roots of this land, capturing the essence of the eternal and the magical.

In a new chapter of its artistic evolution, Ariosto Rivera has brought to life an enigmatic white rabbit, now the protagonist of its visual narratives. Under the artists’ magical vision, this character ventures into burrows filled with wonder and emotion. Its journey symbolizes the exploration of the unknown and the pursuit of the extraordinary, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a world where the boundaries of reality blur and the fantastical comes to life.

The success of Ariosto Rivera has transcended borders, standing out in prestigious art fairs in iconic cities such as Paris, Madrid, and Buenos Aires, as well as its hometown, Mexico City. Its works have captivated the interest and admiration of collectors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Malaysia, France, and beyond.

Proudly Mexican, Ariosto Rivera does not settle for merely preserving and elevating the popotillo technique; it also seeks to innovate and transcend, masterfully fusing tradition with contemporary expression. Each piece, a visual symphony, is a tribute to Mexico’s rich culture and an invitation to immerse oneself in imaginary and dreamlike worlds.
