Ariosto Rivera is a Mexican artistic signature created by Jesús Rivera and Joaquín Ariosto. This duo delves into the reinterpretation of the ancestral technique of popotillo art, which involves fine plant fibers dyed with natural pigments to create true mosaics of figurative expression, interwoven with colors, materials, meanings, and contrasting textures. By using vibrant colors, unusual textures, and soft yet brilliant tones of symbolism, the artists craft surreal figures, majestic animals, skulls, Day of the Dead catrinas, and beings drawn from the deepest recesses of their dreams.
