Dayana Rivero (b. 1984, Santa Clara, Cuba)
Born in Cuba, Dayana immigrated to the United States at a young age. She studied fine arts throughout her early years and holds a B.S. Architecture degree.
As an image and filmmaker, Dayana’s background in Architecture informs not only how she looks at the world, but how she sees through the camera. Driven by the seduction of forms she explores the interrelatedness of the physical body, geometries, and the natural environment while alluding to their abstract essences. Her images are recognized for having an intrinsic sensibility to composition, color, and use of light.
For Dayana, the camera is the converting agent between the intangible internal vision and the physical outward constituent. The darkroom is a space where the full potential of what the image could be / wants to be unravels.
Dayana’s work has been published in Atmos, One Magazine, Document Journal and Schön amongst others. In 2023 she held a solo exhibition for the series “Any Other Form” in New York. Her film “Cuerpo” was selected as part of Fashion Film Festival Milano, also in 2023.
Dayana is based in New York.
