Nationality: Peru

Daniel de la Barra is a Peruvian artist working across painting, video, and installation. His practice explores fiction and political imagination as regenerative forces to dismantle historical power structures and interrogate extractive economic models and colonial legacies. His work examines how spatial representations, materiality, scale, and visual codes operate as mechanisms of power and legitimization. He has exhibited internationally at venues including Delfina Foundation and Frieze (London), Fondazione Sandretto, La Casa Encendida and ARCO (Madrid), Mor Charpentier (Paris), Real Academia de Espa.a (Rome), and Museo Central (Lima).
