Lluís Barba is a multidisciplinary artist who works in media such as painting, photography, sculpture and video art. Throughout his artistic career he has experimented with different techniques and materials which have made his creations vary formally, but his intentionality Barba has always been the same, with a strong component of social criticism towards a system which alienates people and turns them into prototypes of behaviour and in a clearly consumerist society. He studied at the Llotja School and at the Massana School Visual Arts Centre in Barcelona. Lluís Barba has exhibited his work in Europe, the United States, Latin America, Canada and Japan. His work is part of several public collections and museums MACBA Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona, Centro Wifredo Lam de Arte Contemporáneo de La Habana, Marugame Hirai Museo Español de Arte Contemporáneo de Japón, MADC Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo de Costa Rica, MAVAO Museo de Artes Visuales Alejandro Otero, Museo Jacobo Borges MACC and MUJABO Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas. In 2007, Barba participates in 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', from the Travellers in Time series, based on Bosch's novel at Art Basel Miami, quoted in various media (CNN New York, The London Times, The Independent...) and makes a music video collaboration for Lil Wayne's 'Steady Mobbin'.
