# summary
Chilean painter and muralist whose work blends the tradition of figurative painting with muralism techniques, centered on the theme of the female figure. His characters—often portrayed from behind, at rest, with intricate hairstyles and garments of lace and translucent fabrics—emerge from dark, atmospheric backgrounds that create intimate and evocative scenes. Through chiaroscuro and a refined sense of austerity, his compositions invite open emotional interpretation, allowing each viewer to construct their own narrative.

Barriga has completed mural projects in several countries, including the United States, France, Spain, and Georgia, expanding the international reach of his work. He is considered a prominent figure in the international muralist scene, and a key figure in large scale realism.

Whether in public spaces or studio formats, his practice is distinguished by its visual sensitivity, technical rigor, and ability to create timeless images which resonate with what is deeply human and universal.
