Roberto Rivadeneira (b. 1991, Quito, Ecuador) is an artist, curator, and creative director working between Madrid and Berlin. His practice explores the relationship between perception, time, and abstraction, moving fluidly across painting, digital image-making, installation, and spatial projects. At the core of his work is a sustained curiosity about the space between what we see, remember, and imagine.

Alongside his artistic practice, Rivadeneira is the founder and creative director of DOBLE ERRE, a hybrid space in Madrid dedicated to production, exhibition, and collaborative research across art, design, and technology. He is also the curator and director of Ventana Project in Madrid, where he develops exhibition programs focused on emerging practices, spatial experimentation, and contemporary cultural discourse.
