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. According to general relativity, the center of a black hole is not defined by location but by a moment in time. It is not a point you can reach in space but rather a boundary in the structure of time itself. This work uses that concept as a starting point, presenting a suspended moment where tension, distortion and gravity-like pull are held in balance. The installation is a physical metaphor that invites viewers to reflect on how reality is built around us. What appears fixed or still may actually be under constant pressure. What we experience as space may be shaped by forces we do not immediately see. The work asks whether the systems we inhabit, both natural and constructed, are more fragile, distorted or flexible than they first appear
