Work

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]
