Crafting inside the box
- • Alberto began in his father's atelier
- • He considers himself a self-taught artist
- • His work is his way of seeing the world
Alberto Ribera Ibargüen began designing furniture at the age of eight years old when he helped his father in his atelier. His work drifted towards architectural sculpture and later to natural design. He eventually inherited his father's workshop in Madrid and this opened up new spaces for Alberto to develop his work towards painting, design and sculpture. He considers himself scrupulous in his work. "For me, something well made is a piece that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but that has soul and communicates," he says. Today, Alberto works out of his workshop in Turégano. "I have had many important moments on my creative journey. From making furniture for a non-profit association helping the disabled, to selecting 12 of my pieces for a German collector. Recently joining Homo Faber Guide is a new challenge."
