Photographer David Rivas is a fine art artist living in Ventura County for 30 years. The subjects for his photographs are captured on film with the lens of a camera. They are enlarged from the negatives using traditional darkroom techniques.
The resulting chromogenic prints are anything but traditional. The bold and colorful abstract images allow the viewer to engage with the art on their own terms, bringing their personal experience to it and suggesting their own interpretation.
His photograph titled SYMBOLS, is the front cover of Art Life Magazine June 2004.
Rivas has shows at the Buenaventura Gallery and Artists Union Gallery in Ventura and the Billy Rose Gallery in Ventura Harbor Village. His website is ................ http://rivasart.com/
