Javier de Riba - 29/10/1985. Catalan visual artist member of the Reskate Arts & Crafts Collective. With his interventions on the public space he tries to question the value of objects and spaces. He proposes a slough off skin that changes the perception of these spaces. Among his most renowned works we can find the project Varnish, where he works with varnish on collected wood pieces; and Floors, a work of interventions on abandoned floors.
