Javier Bravo de Rueda (Peru, 1989) lives and works between Lima and Madrid. His practice explores narrative and material experimentation to investigate the boundaries between reality, fiction, myth and culture, influenced by his transit between Latin America and the Western world. She examines processes of hybridization in contemporary art and culture, including literature, design and popular art, as ways to reflect on identity and historical construction.

Bravo de Rueda earned an MFA in Sculptural Ceramics at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and a BFA in Painting at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, with additional studies in Barcelona, Chile and New York. His work has been exhibited internationally in spaces such as the Fondazione Officine Saffi in Milan (Award 5), the Casa Encendida in Madrid (Generation 2021) and Jorge Lopez Gallery in Valencia (Derritiente for all colors). In 2024, he presented Piel de piedra, Esqueleto de piedra at Crisis Galería (Lima) and Le Jardín de Ciro at the Centre Céramique Contemporaine La Borne (France).

He has received awards and grants from institutions such as the Montemadrid Foundation, Fondazione Officine Saffi, Siemens Stiftung, Fundación BilbaoArte and Fundación Botín. His work is developed through the transformation of materials, fieldwork, archival research and recontextualization of craft methods, exploring familiar and unknown territories from a poetic, ecological and critical perspective.
