Elias Rivera is was painter whose work both created timeless images and displays virtuosity of technique. During his long career, Rivera painted human drama as it unfoldef in settings as varied as civil-rights demonstrations, subways, rodeos, and the marketplaces of Guatemala, Mexico and Peru. His classical training and Old Master technique evoke a true narrative quality rarely seen in contemporary realist painting. Regardless of the particulars of culture, place and time that appear in each painting, Elias Rivera consistently captured the essence of humanity.
