Reskate is an artistic collective formed by Maria López (1980) and Javier de Riba (1985), visual artists from Donostia-San Sebastián and Barcelona respectively. Their workshop and studio is located in the Sants district of Barcelona. Influenced by classic sign-painting, popular culture, and graphic design, their work includes murals, illustrations, exhibitions and installations.
As an artistic collective, they question their style in every project, believing firmly that the aesthetics, techniques, and materials used must never be unthinking or gratuitous - on the contrary, they must exist solely as a vessel to convey and amplify the work’s underlying message.
In their murals, they present works that are connected with the space around it, representing stories and facts of the local culture. Through this, they make visible the identity of the mural’s surroundings.
