Today we’d like to introduce you to Mauricio Rivera.
Hi Mauricio, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
As a kid, I had a very wild imagination. I would constantly daydream about different adventures and scenes I made up in my head. And at home, I would play with my toys, trying to recreate or create my own epic scene from the movies I saw. And it wasn’t until high school that I finally got the motivation and the encouragement from my mom to start writing my ideas down, and when I started writing, it made me want to learn to draw. From there, it led me to wanting to learn to paint, then it led to wanting to learn digital art, and then 3d modeling and animation, and film making.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
At first, it was a budget for expensive art materials, especially for digital art. But after that, it was my procrastination and fear of things not turning out well, and I was constantly overthinking everything instead of actually doing work.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I refer to myself as a visual artist. I do digital drawing, painting, and 3d modeling, animation, and filmmaking. I am currently developing a small internet series, later I can make the main story of it into a web comic series, then hopefully could adapt it into a film. I think what I’m proud of and what sets me apart is my willingness to experiment with different genres of storytelling, even if those genres don’t traditionally make sense together, but I find it fun, and if they don’t work, I keep trying with new concepts.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
The heat and the sunsets.
