Daniela Rivera serves as the Luella LaMer Slaner Professor of Latin American Studies and Professor of Art at Wellesley College, where she is primarily affiliated with the Department of Art. Her academic work bridges visual art practice and Latin American cultural studies through site-specific installations that interrogate spatial perception and image objecthood.
Her educational credentials include:
- B.F.A. from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
- M.F.A. from School of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston
Rivera's research investigates the materiality of images through paintings that transform exhibition spaces, synthesizing baroque techniques with minimalist presentation strategies and Arte Povera conceptual frameworks. She examines how utilitarian painting applications alter perceptual planes, compelling viewers' bodies to become active components of the artwork. Her pedagogy centers on visual analysis in Drawing I courses, emphasizing the inseparability of form and content where meaning manifests through physical embodiment.
