BIOGRAPHY

Ana Barriga’s paintings attempt to balance reason and emotion, capturing the energy that arises from their intersection. In her work, Barriga tries to focus on the shared environment between artists and children, using elements such as children’s toys, colourful decorative objects and other items used in everyday life. Her approach to her subjects is filled with irony, humour and playfulness from which unpredictable and new situations that don’t fit the rules emerge.

Her work has been exhibited in several solo exhibitions, including Candy Eye, Birimbao Gallery, Seville (2022); De tu color, Paul Roosen Contemporary, Hamburg, Germany (2021); Un día perfecto, WeCollect, Madrid, Spain (2021); Robots, dinosaurios y galletas, Padre Gallery, New York (2021); I Learn the Merengue, Affenfaust Gallery, Hamburg (2020); La vida del difunto, Yusto/Giner, Marbella (2020); From Animals to Gods, Andalusian Contemporary Art Centre, Seville (2019); Once in a Life Time, T20 Gallery, Murcia (2018) and Neither Throne Nor Queen, Yusto Giner Gallery, Malaga (2017).

SC Gallery, Bilbao, Spain (2022); Hidden Message, Func Gallery, Shanghai, China (2021); I don’t wanna be, I am, Affenfaust Gallery, Hamburg, Germany (2021); My Sweet Doppelgänger.
