My name is Pedro Riofrio. I was born in 1996 in Quito, Ecuador, and I currently live between Europe and Latin America. I consider myself a visual artist, musician, and researcher in the field of biomaterials and technological alternatives, with particular attention to the fungal kingdom and the physicality of sound resonances. I am a member of the "Maytu" collective and a member of the ROSA MARGA music group.

My work is intended to address origins, the passage of time and changes in the cycles of life. I’ve set out to highlight the fact that we are all made of the same matter, that we are all resonances and that we interact with our environment according to a rhizomatic system that knows of no hierarchies.

Our reality is the product of our own experiences, and creation is the mechanism that allows us to sculpt those experiences and weave connections to create, and ultimately share, different stories.

I believe we go through two main stages in life; the first involves contemplation and the accumulation of information as an audience, and in the second, we become authors and bring this information to life in the form of independent entities.

What interests me in the art of creation is the approach to the sublime, even if it is impossible to reach. I believe that this endless quest is the very essence of any creative process. It's important to accept that the sublime is not permanent, but exists in a constant flow of change and transformation. It exists out of true necessity and that is why it endures, transcends, and transforms history. To deconstruct language, we need to understand the physicality of our reality and the presence and contributions of other species. History is just a version we tell of the reality that surrounds us, but we have the ability to shape this reality ourselves.
