Born a couple of days ago...April 15, 1945, Arturo Rivera is a contemporary painter, born in Mexico City. He studied painting at San Carlos Academy. He also studied in London and Germany and lived for a time in New York City. His style is hyperrealism which is a finely defined painting or sculpture resembling a photograph...or in the case of sculpture...realistic object. At times his painting has taken on a dark, macabre quality. His work has been shown all over the world. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City, named him the Mexican Art Master of the twentieth century.
Certainly I would say his art has a definite Surrealistic influence...as represented in the painting below...
