BIOGRAPHY
Vanessa Rivera is a Digital Media Artist, with strengths in 3D modeling/design, 3D illustration, & world building. Works focus on color theory and abstractionism, creating life through the vibrancy of colors, shapes, forms and fluid movements. Many inspirations are drawn from nature's organic qualities, and in combination offers a complimentary contrast in her works. Nature’s vibrant hues, metallic elements, foggy atmospheres, fluid movements merged with grounded shapes are all used to entice the viewer to view the world from a different perspective: through the lens of geometry.
