Ricardo Moraga

Ricardo Moraga is a Chilean sculptor based in Barcelona for over twenty years. In his three-dimensional work, he uses recycled materials such as wood, old books, sheet metal, and rusted metal objects. This use of decaying materials is no coincidence: oxidation becomes a central element of his artistic language, symbolising the passage of time and the inevitable decay that affects all things and living beings.

His sculptures occupy space with a poetic and material presence, blending memory, transformation, and ecological awareness. Through the reuse of discarded objects, Moraga invites us to reflect on the beauty of imperfection and the value of things that seem to have reached the end of their cycle.
