Roberto Rivadeneira

Roberto Rivadeneira (b. 1991, Quito, Ecuador) is a Berlin- and Madrid-based artist whose practice explores the intersections of abstraction, digital technology, and spatial perception. His work challenges conventional relationships between form, color, and space, transforming the everyday into layered, symbolic compositions.

Rivadeneira uses technology as a primary tool—both as a means of production and a conceptual framework. His digitally manipulated abstractions extend beyond the canvas to include installations and murals, blurring the boundaries between physical and virtual experience. Through a visual language informed by architecture, urbanism, and the aesthetics of light and shadow, his work invites a rethinking of how we engage with built and imagined environments.

Playful yet methodical, Rivadeneira’s approach emphasizes the relational nature of image-making—how elements influence one another within a composition, and how viewers perceive and interact with them. His abstractions serve as both reflections and distortions of reality, acting as portals into hybrid landscapes shaped by both human experience and technological mediation.

Rivadeneira has exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions, including Fahrenheit Space (Berlin), Hosek Contemporary (Berlin), B-Murals (Barcelona), and Más Arte Galería (Quito). He has participated in numerous residencies across Europe and Latin America, including No Lugar (Ecuador), We Collect Gallery (Madrid), and Grotta AIR (Spain).
He is also the cofounder and curator of Ventana Project, an initiative focused on experimental exhibitions and curatorial collaboration.
