Elena Rivera-Montanes' paintings explore themes of time, loss, and the quiet rhythms of everyday life, focusing on domestic interiors that often hold personal significance. Using a nostalgic color palette, she pieces together fragments of memory, overlooked quotidian moments, and elements of personal history to create layered narratives, encouraging viewers to connect with their own memories and reflect on how the past and present intertwine. Building an assemblage of these in-between spaces, Rivera-Montanes captures the way memories fade, overlap, and are continuously reshaped.
