ECSTASY secret settings. ARTURO RIVERA.

We tell our story through seduction and murder, bodies possessed or destroyed. We are a chain of beings who fall in love, attack, seeking to eternity or death. The experience has Arturo Rivera with the human body is visceral, his eye is surgery to recreate in paint dry bones and veins severed, is closely related with the colors of the muscles when they go into rigor mortis, deformities caused by impacts or genetic disorders. Dissects the madness and obsession of the body that gives pleasure, that is delivered. Locate these presences in a geometric composition, balanced, putting an intuitive order in the mind of the observer, makes an altar that perpetuates ritual worships pleasure and sacrifice.

The tragedy of the image is devoured and reinvented, the pain that involves a severed hand, with dirty fingernails, fingers and skin made withdrawals, a synthesis of our ephemeral condition. Rivera's painting unknown investigates human nature, stripped of imaginary dark veils to present it as your eyes see and the understood, leaving us wounded and seduced. Your pleasure is cruel, it encourages the body to idealize love or torture, use the same expertise and fascination for a mosquito caught in a stone, to paint the pussy of a young man who is displayed with black stockings and challenges us to a thin rod behind the waist, ready to flagellum, a whip who believe that open legs bear no risks.

Rivera makes reality a new possibility, the body evolves into an investigation of the inert futility of our essence, while the peace of a female profile is the opportunity to find the sublimation before we shook the edentulous skulls. The antagonistic presence of serenity and madness are the warning of the pitfalls into which we fall when overvalued our existence. Rivera's eye for the vanity of a woman who is seen in a small mirror, which just takes you back a piece of his face, that scene seductive and shameless flirtation, is the eve of uncontrolled hysteria gnawing human bones and embarks in a small boat to sail the River Styx.

Faced with the extraordinary presence of horrific images, we are upset because the creation of beauty lies in the artist. Then the beauty is the invention of intelligence. What is the paint if not to dazzle? Why look at a painting unless it is to look at ourselves? Rivera knows this and creates a universe that predicts delirium becomes emancipated and their images. The art requires generosity, all the talent demand that is poured into each piece, the artist does not let ideas or actions pending. Art is a moment that decision before he leaves. Arturo Rivera painting haunts us, knows that time is their only chance is to work full spares no resources, wisdom and devotion to the canvas. In the insurance domain technique, pigments used formulas are the result of numerous tests and experiments, the colors are dramatic, deep, give credence to the skin, sweat, blood, the reflection of light.

We are addicted to images, the need to identify, learn, know, when an artist invents a picture gives us something that will feed our memory, has paths before had not traveled. Decides to see the artist assumes the risk and endorses the work, assimilated to become part of their history. The presence of Vulcan sorry, its long shouting, throat singing vacuum, with a red turban wrapped her anguish and despair, contrasts with the delicacy of a woman with a grenade and opened a branch in fragile hands, her breasts pressed into a richly embroidered corsette, skin glowing, refreshed. The appetite to see and to possess are insatiable. Rivera forces us to fight a battle among the images that hypnotize us for the pain and show that seduce us for offering carnal. In all perverts us as witnesses.
