Yecenia Rivera
Fine Art
I am a self-taught artist from Puerto Rico, living in Sweden since 2002. Somewhere between those two places, and everything life has brought in between, is where my art comes from.
I work mostly with acrylics because they let me move fast, layer deeply, and stay close to the feeling I am chasing. My paintings tend to find their way to forests, water, and light, because that is where I find peace and where I feel closest to something bigger than myself.
I paint intuitively. I do not always know what a painting will say when I begin it. But by the time it is finished, it usually tells me exactly what I needed to express.
I have been exhibiting since 2013, and my dream is to one day have my own solo vernissage. Until then, I keep painting, one layer at a time.
