Bio
Ariel Rivera is a Puerto Rican painter and writer based in San Francisco. Primarily self-taught, she has deepened her practice through studies at The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria, Sari Shryak’s Not Sorry Art School, Crealde School of Art, and the Jean Henry School of Art. Her creative energy extends into her work as a writer, her knack for crafting a perfect matcha latte, and her love of storytelling in all its forms.
Artist Statement
For Ariel, painting is a way of listening—to the self, the creative forces at play, and the quiet synchronicities that shape our world. Blending organic elements with intuitive abstraction, her work reveals the subconscious truths and hidden rhythms that connect us all.
