Working in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, Niurys Rivera Machado draws on sgraffito, monotype, and rich textures to create paintings deeply grounded in drawing. Her practice reimagines Byzantine painting and medieval iconography through a contemporary perspective, rendering human figures, objects, and architectural elements in highly detailed, narrative scenes. Emphasizing both symbol and surface, Rivera Machado’s work foregrounds introspection, memory, and a sense of mystery, inviting viewers into a quiet search for meaning. She holds a background in Fine Arts and Art Education.
