Eduardo L Rivera is an artist from Phoenix, Arizona. Influenced by the poetics and politics that ripple through his childhood home near the U.S.-Mexico border, his work uses visual traditions such as portraiture, still life, and landscape to consider notions of family, belonging, time, and the significance of light.

Rivera’s photographs have been the subject of solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States at institutions such as Light Work, the Silver Eye Center for Photography, and the Houston Center for Photography, among others. Eduardo was a recipient of the En Foco Fellowship Award, the Silver List Award, the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship, and runner-up for the Aperture Portfolio Prize. He was an artist-in-residence at the TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image, the Visual Studies Workshop, and the Studios at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.

Eduardo received a BFA in photography from Arizona State University in 2011 and an MFA in photography from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2016. In 2019, he was a participant at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
