DULCE MARIA RIVAS GODOY

Contemporary Artist

Space, movement, perception and the traces of invisible forces.

What happens when an artist strips away the noise of permanent space and surrenders to the geography of water? Following a radical shift in lifestyle, moving aboard a boat with only a closet of essentials and portable studio tools, this project explores the invisible relationship between spatial environment and human behavior.

LIQUID INTERVALS

IMPERMANENT TRACES

Liquid Intervals and Impermanent Traces is a two video/sound works of 5:30 minutes that examine water as a perceptual, reflective and acoustic field, exploring the fluidity of memory and the ephemeral nature of moments, challenging the traditional urge to capture and archive the instant.

A SENSITIVE SURFACE

The Bow, 2026
watercolor pencils on paper/20×25.5cm

Living on the water reframes the concept of the mark. This project suggests a profound engagement with the invisible physics of the ocean. Anchored, moving, fixed, unstable, this works explore a more intimate record: the “writing” of the anchor.

INVISIBLE TRAJECTORIES

Songs of Motion, 2026
acrylic on canvas/20×25.5cm

Living on the water reframes the concept of the mark. This project suggests a profound engagement with the invisible physics of the ocean.

MINDSCAPES

A cartography of mental and emotional terrains. Landscapes of thought shaped not by geography, but by perception, memory, and emotion.

FROM THE INTERIOR

Prescence through absence, vision filtered through containment, interiority and isolation. A meditation on the act of seeing from within.
