Early life and education
[edit]Ibarra Rizo was born in León, Guanajuato, Mexico.[2] He attended Georgia College & State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Drawing and Painting in 2014.[2]
Work
[edit]Since 2021, Ibarra Rizo has been documenting the migrant experience in the American South. Through portraiture, he has created an archive that represents a community that is misrepresented and rarely included in American fine art.[3]
As a Mexican immigrant, Ibarra Rizo questions what it means to be American. Through photographing individuals who share a similar experience as his own, he attempts to create a more honest representation of the complexities and collective struggle to reconcile what is lost in culture, language, and history.[2][4]
Ibarra Rizo's work has been featured in TIME Magazine,[5] The New York Times,[6] and Rolling Stone.[7] His work resides in the permanent collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the High Museum of Art.[8]
