A portrait reflects not only
the soul of a human being.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
My country, its nature and its people are my biggest inspiration. Wherever I look, life is breathing in Mexico, colors are talking to you. From this motivation I can paint landscapes and faces or I can go inside the human being, who is mexican and universal at the same time. I paint landscapes like portraits of the earth and I paint portraits like landscapes of the human genre. When I paint in Europe, in the United States or in another country I always travel with Mexico in my luggage. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
The title artist is very profound. People call me in that way but I think I'm a human being who needs to express her own heritage, her thoughts, her feelings on a canvas, on a paper, an a piece of wood. This is my language, a manner to express the world and to communicate the spirit of life. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Mexican painter and writer.
She was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, a little port closed to the Pacific Ocean.
The first Magnolia's art exhibit was celebrated in Mazatlan in 1980. After this, she has exhibited her art in Centroamérica, México and the United States (Denver and Seatlle).
Magnolia is author of Trampantojos El Círculo en la Obra de Remedios Varo (Siglo XXI Editores), a very interesting essay about the spaniard surrealistic artist. In 2004, Magnolia was distinguished with the Siglo XXI International Award because of this book.
Nowadays, Magnolia Rivera continues painting everyday, creating new beatiful artworks in very different techniques. Her art is eclectic and her expression is very profound.
