Lourdes Rivera, -LULU is active in San Juan, Puerto Rico, working diligently on expanding her technique and adding new and exciting elements to her work. Passionate about Painting, she has a hunger for growing in format developing her own style: the "Impressionist Expressionism", [or "Expressionist Impressionism"], in her undistinguishable colorful palette, which is her stamp and unequivocal mark. She has developed a very personal representative technique based on observation and on what the brain captures, (what she identifies as the brain's “interpretation templates”). So she tries to represent in her Work what the eye and mind really grasp from life from around us all: a kind of a compromise between the “infinite dimension of the mind interpretation” and the “finite physical reality”. Started exhibiting Individually and also Collectively; then selling Paintings and some of her Collectors have repeated purchasing (liking her among their favorites Artists); participating in International online Art Contests; her technique and use of materials has also evolved from oil painting, to acrylics, mixed media; texture mediums, alcohol inks, resin, pastels, cheese cloth, etc.; and also works Figurative, Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and her “Impressionist Expressionism”; experiments with more media and bigger format.
