There is an art born of its time and an "eternal" art, capable of speaking to every era. It is to the latter that the sculptor has chosen to dedicate his life. The Gates of Paradise were a true obsession, Ghiberti a true master, and the Tuscan Renaissance an academy. Reinterpreting the form of the Sacrifice of Isaac today is for the artist an act of devotion and denunciation. The work "Libera Nos" was born as a reflection on feminicides, the indifference and violence of the present. An angel stops the man's hand, but behind it lie wars, ostriches hiding their heads, broken religious symbols. Riva believes in a contemporary art, clear, universal, a witness to its time. May it awaken us, may it free us.
