Since entering the designer toy scene in 2006, he has developed a distinct style characterized by monstrous figures adorned with sharp teeth, cybernetic elements, and surreal anatomical features. Rivas’s work is deeply personal, often reflecting his experiences with mental health challenges. His sculptures manifest as paranoid delusions of overlords, infestations, drones, and personifications of pain, among other demons . These themes are brought to life through his use of mixed media, incorporating materials like recycled computer parts, polymer clay, and acrylic paints to create textured, layered pieces .
