Jorge Rivas Espinar

My work begins as a narrative and symbolic figuration, developing a theme with dreamlike undertones, composing scenes with stylized characters — sometimes melancholic and introspective — who express their inner world.

Color is an element that creates psychological tension, offering pure and powerful contrasts.

Poetic and theatrical realism, meticulous in detail, with distorted elements and dreamlike atmospheres.

What stands out is the precision of the drawing, the polished pictorial surface, and a narrative clarity that combines contemporary references with a personal language charged with irony and suggestion.
