Under the artistic name of RICE, Eduard Sacrest Soy (Barcelona, 1993), graduated from Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. As a visual artist his artistic work deployed mostly in the field of interacting with the public space, using the environment and its landscape as space to interact and to express his interests, concerns, and reflections. His work is seen not only in urban surfaces and walls, but also in galleries and museums across different cities around the world. Frankfurt Am Main, Berlin, Paris, Utrecht, London and Barcelona are some of the cities where his work can be found. Initiated in the technique of oil painting from an early age, it was not until he arrived in Barcelona when he was first motivated by the diverse and vibrant urban culture that surroundings offered. Here he began attempting to paint with aerosols whilst trying to maintain his painting technique and form of portraiture in the new venture; improving it and adapting it to the conditions of the public spaces with an intention of creating dialogue with the spectators. With this creative dynamic and the possibility of communication and performance that the streets provide, he creates site-specific works in where to reactivate the attention in public spaces. Seeking to act as a speaker and story teller in hope of offering visibility to the protagonists of his portraits and through their stories activating a reflection around issues related to loneliness, distance, love and isolation. With a pictorial practice that combines studio and street work he is also passionately linked with different educational and social projects, taking mural painting and urban art as a pedagogical tool for the community and engine of change.
