David López Ribes David López Ribes (born June 27, 1972 in Valencia, Spain) is a Spanish painter and multidisciplinary artist. His studies took place at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, UPV between 1991 and 1995, and at the School of Visual Arts in New York City during 2003. David López Ribes is the winner of the Pontifical Academies Prize 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI, for his contribution to Christian Humanism on the contemporary.[1][2][3][4][5][6] OverviewDavid López's work is mainly pictorial, partly heir of informalism. However, as of the year 2000 he develops New Media (video, sculpture and installation). They are spiritual and transcendental works, which are clearly influenced by his personal life. Through painting, sculpture and video art projected onto real objects, he addresses issues such as: father, sacrifice, gift, transit and kingdom, in the content of his work and also has a constant preoccupation for using media as a means to dialogue with the secular man. Creating connections between Contemporary Culture and Faith. David López Ribes video installations are designed to cause reflection on perception while at the same time reconsidering video as a medium in itself. They are images that want to be here with us out of the boundaries of the 'frame' and into real life images projected on real objects on the same action performed. They are multimedia installations that blur the boundary between the tangible and the transcendental. The nostalgia of harmony, the rejection of subjectivism, and liturgies of everyday life as an expression of moral integrity, are his cross-cutting themes. His work is present in public and private collections nationally and internationally.  David López is awarded with the Young Art Prize 96 from IVAJ (Valencian Youth Institute) in 1997, and has held art exhibits in the Palau de la Musica (The Music Palace) in Valencia, in the House of Culture of Castellón and Alicante´s 14 Center, among others. That summer he worked with painter Antonio López. In August 1997 he moved to Paris, where he lived until 2000, a period in which he helped manage Cultural Affairs of the Instituto Cervantes in Paris and made his first solo exhibits in France. He also began his relationship with the Japanese Nichido Gallery, where he continuously exhibits artwork, both individual and collective. In 2001, he had an art exhibit at Charpa Gallery, Valencia. In 2002, he received the Visual Arts Fellowship from the Generalitat Valenciana and thus traveled to New York in 2003, for a New Media Master´s at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In 2004, he had an art exhibit at Edgar Neville Gallery in Valencia, commissioned by the painter José Sanleón, and director of the Valencian Institute of Modern Art IVAM Consuelo Ciscar.
