Diego Miró-Rivera
Resident #6
October 15 – November 24, 2024
Diego Miró-Rivera was born in Austin, Texas to parents from Puerto Rico and Spain. Diego’s work is focused on site-specificity, the natural world, how humans relate through the manipulation of space. Some of his works are of immense scale, snow or grass drawings tracking several kilometers, other works fit in the palm of a hand, featuring materials that often go unoticed, like a cigarette butt or a seed.
Diego graduated from Yale University this past May, with honors in Art and Cognitive Science, and was awarded the Sudler Prize for the Creative Arts at commencement. Other formative experiences include a residency at the Norfolk School of Art, archeological research on the Ancient Maya in Belize (Gurney Fellowship ‘22), a field study of Japan’s gardens (William Hotchkiss Fellowship ‘23).
