José Rivas | Abstract painter

Born of Spanish decendants and raised in the West Coast, Jose is a Vancouver-based graphic designer and a graduate from Capilano Univerisity’s IDEA - Illustration and Design - Program.
A lover not a fighter, Jose lives to work because it feels like play.
A socialite by nature, he loves talking about food or films directed by Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick.
Among other things, He’s a sucker for color schemes and beautiful sunsets.



The technique that Jose Rivas uses for this series involves a series of short, multicolored brush strokes that look similar to smudges.
The result is reminiscent of a mosaic made of various abstract shapes.
This technique achieves a unique look in Jose Rivas' work, with lots of texture and eye-catching color.
